Paste handles and draw in your browser
Keep using the original no-signup picker when you have already compiled and checked your eligible entrant list.
More options
Entries stay in this browser and are not uploaded. Duplicates are removed case-insensitively, winners and backups are drawn without replacement using the Web Crypto API, and you remain responsible for verifying eligibility and keeping your own draw record.
How the Instagram post preview works
Paste the URL of a public Instagram post or Reel. We inspect post-level details and the visible comment count without asking you to connect an Instagram account. The preview does not display comments or entrant details.
The matching package is indicative. Once you sign up or sign in, the contests app checks the post again when needed and calculates the authoritative quote using your real free-draw eligibility.
Continue with the post to import comments, configure eligibility rules, and run a documented winner draw. Visible comments can differ from eligible or successfully imported entries because deleted, unavailable, duplicate, or rule-breaking comments may not qualify.
Pick the winner, then plan the announcement
Draw winners and ordered backups in one pass, before you tell anybody. The most common reason a giveaway drags on is a winner who never replies, and going back for a second draw a week later leaves you with two undocumented results instead of one clean record.
Contact the selected entrant privately first, confirm they met your published rules, and only then announce. Keep the draw record with your rules so the announcement and the process behind it match.
Raffles, competitions, and prize draws
The words change by country and by prize, but the mechanic is one random selection from an eligible list. This picker handles an Instagram raffle, a comment competition, or a straightforward prize draw the same way.
What changes is the paperwork rather than the draw. A high-value prize, or an entry route that requires a purchase, can attract rules a casual giveaway never meets. Check what applies where your entrants live before entries open.
Drawing from the comments on a post
If you came here looking for a comment picker, the Instagram comment picker page starts from the comments themselves: paste the post URL, import the comments, and draw a random commenter without collecting handles by hand. It runs the same draw and costs the same.
Use this page instead when you are thinking about the giveaway as a whole, including pricing a campaign before you publish and documenting the result afterwards.

Instagram promotions still need official rules
Meta’s promotion guidelines make the promoter responsible for lawful operation, eligibility terms, and applicable approvals. Instagram promotions must also include a release of Instagram and state that Instagram does not sponsor, endorse, administer, or associate with the promotion.
Put the result to work
Continue in the standalone Instagram contests app to import every comment, apply eligibility rules, draw winners, and share the announcement in minutes.
Open the Instagram contests appFrequently asked questions
Is the winner chosen at random?
Yes, always at random and never by judgment. Use the post URL flow to import comments and draw in the app, or the manual picker to draw from a pasted list of handles without creating an account.
Is this the same as an Instagram comment picker?
It runs the same draw. The Instagram comment picker page is the one to use when you want to start from the comments on a post and pull out a random commenter. This page is framed around the giveaway as a whole, including pricing a campaign and documenting the draw.
Can I use it as a raffle or competition picker?
Yes. An Instagram raffle, a comment competition, and a prize draw are all one random selection from an eligible list. The difference is in the rules you publish, not in how the draw runs.
Does this picker import Instagram comments?
The URL preview only reads post details and a visible comment count. It never displays comments. If you continue and create or sign in to a UserLoop Contests account, the standalone app can import comments for eligibility checks and a winner draw.
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. The preview and standalone picker do not ask for your Instagram password or require you to connect an Instagram account. The post must be public and available to inspect.
Is the first Instagram draw free?
The first eligible draw is free for new accounts when the post has up to 100 comments. Returning users see an authoritative quote after signing in. Larger posts use a one-off Campaign Pass, and no subscription is required.
How are duplicate Instagram handles handled?
Leading @ symbols are removed and handles are compared case-insensitively, so @Alex and alex count as one entry. Review the final unique count before drawing.
Is the draw cryptographically random?
Selection uses the browser Web Crypto API with rejection sampling to avoid modulo bias. Random selection does not by itself prove eligibility or replace a documented promotion process.
Can I pick backup winners?
Yes. Set a backup count before drawing and the picker selects winners first, then ordered backups, all in one pass without replacement. If a winner is ineligible or never responds, promote the next backup and note the reason in your draw record.
How do I document the draw?
After drawing, copy the plain-text record (winners, backups, unique entrant count, UTC timestamp, and method) or download the result image to share alongside your winner announcement. Keep either with your entrant list and published rules.
