About Instagram Comment Picker

Instagram Comment Picker is a free online tool where you can pick one or multiple winners for your Instagram giveaways, raffles, contest or sweepstakes or promotions based on the comments of your Instagram media.

How to use Instagram Comment Picker?

• Login with the Facebook account that is the administrator of the Facebook pages which is connected to the Instagram Creator or Business account. Please make sure that no pop-ups are blocked by the browser and that Facebook script is not blocked by any adblocker or extension.
• In the Facebook pop-up allow the following permission for your account/pages for which you want to use the raffle: Manage your Pages and Access profile and posts from the Instagram account connected to your Page. These are only used for getting the pages, medias and comments (we don't post to Facebook).
• Select your Facebook page that is connected to your Instagram business or creator account. If you don't see your page in the list, please make sure that you allowed all permissions and that your Instagram account is connected to the Facebook page. We will get all medias of this Instagram account after selecting this page.
• Select your Instagram media which you want to use to pick the winner for your contest. All medias are sorted by date. After selection of the media, we will gather all comments that are commented by all users on this post.
• You can choose in the comment options which comments you want to be included or excluded in the raffle. You can use these options to include comments replies, filter duplicate users and only include comments with a certain amount of mentions. Make sure all comments are loaded before changing any filters. It's also possible to filter comments on a specific answer, check the option and enter the exact text that should be included in a comment. This could be really useful for a "guess and win contest".
• Choose in the Instagram raffle options how many winners you want to pick and if a winner can be chosen multiple times (when using multiple winners).
• Time to start the raffle and pick one or multiple winners for your contest. Click the start button and we will pick a random winner for your contest. We will display the time of the raffle, winner (username) and comment. Click on the username opens a new tab with the Instagram account of the user. Optionally you can share the results via Facebook (not possible via Instagram yet).
• Want to choose new winners? Quickly choose multiple winner with the pick new winner(s) button.

How much does Instagram Comment Picker cost?

This tool is 100% free to use with an unlimited number of account and comments. Unlike other online tools, we won't charge you anything. We earn money by showing you (relevant) advertisements, so please be kind and disable your ad-blocker :)

Why do you need all the permissions?

Yes, we know it looks like we can do everything with the "Manage your Pages" and "Access profile and posts from the Instagram account connected to your Page" permission, but we need these permissions to get the pages, medias and comments of those medias. Without this we could not pick a winner for you, sorry. You can read everything on the Facebook developer documentation. We are not able to post anything on your accounts. Logout via the Facebook logout will remove all the access/permissions to your FB pages and Instagram accounts.

Can I customize Instagram contest results with a logo or title?

Yes, we added a new feature that you can customize the Instagram raffle results with a title, intro text and a logo! Check the "Add contest information to results" option inside the form and enter your personalized Insta contest info. The image should be a link to an online image which should be one of the following format: jpg, jpeg, png, svg or gif.

Is Instagram Comment Picker fair and legit?

Yes, we believe that a fair tool is the only way for users to keep using our tool and having trust in our tools. So we promise you that it's 100% fair. Everything happens on the client side which we can not manipulate. For randomness we are using Math.random() to pick a random winner out of all comments.
