Use Random Selection
Always use a random picker tool like this one. Manual selection can seem biased and may upset participants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instagram Giveaway Pickers
Is this Instagram giveaway picker really free?
Yes, this Instagram giveaway picker is 100% free. No signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. Use it as many times as you need for all your Instagram contests and giveaways.
How does the random selection work?
Our giveaway picker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure truly random, unbiased selection. Every participant has an equal chance of winning — no manipulation possible.
Can I pick multiple winners at once?
Yes! Set the number of winners you want (1, 2, 5, 10, or any number), and the tool will randomly select that many unique winners from your list. No duplicate winners.
Should I remove duplicate entries?
It depends on your giveaway rules. If you allow multiple entries (e.g., one entry per comment), keep duplicates. If it's one entry per person, enable 'Remove duplicates' to count each username only once.
How do I copy usernames from Instagram comments?
On desktop: Go to your post, scroll through comments, and manually copy usernames. For large giveaways (100+ comments), consider using a comment export tool or scrolling through and selecting all visible usernames.
Can I re-roll if a winner doesn't respond?
Yes! Click 'Re-Roll' to pick new winners if original winners don't respond within your deadline. The tool will select from the same participant pool.
Is this tool compliant with Instagram's rules?
Yes. This tool simply picks random winners from a list you provide — it doesn't interact with Instagram directly. Make sure your giveaway itself follows Instagram's Promotion Guidelines.
Can I automate winner notifications?
This free picker selects winners, but you'll need to DM them manually. For automated winner DMs, use CreatorFlow to send instant, personalized messages to winners via Instagram's official API.
How many participants can I add?
There's no limit! Add hundreds or thousands of usernames. The tool handles large lists efficiently and picks winners instantly regardless of list size.
Can I save or export the results?
Click 'Copy Winner Names' to copy all winners to your clipboard. You can then paste them anywhere — Instagram DMs, notes, spreadsheets, or announcement posts.
