Paste directly from Google Sheets, Excel, Word, or copy-paste comments from any social network

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, Facebook, Twitch, Discord…

How to Use the Giveaway Picker

  1. 1. Choose your platform — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Discord, and more.
  2. 2. Paste your participants — Copy comments directly from your post, or paste a list from Google Sheets, Excel, or Word. One name per line, or "username: comment" format. Tab-separated spreadsheet columns also work.
  3. 3. Set your rules — Filter by required keywords (e.g. "#giveaway"), minimum friend tags (@mentions), remove duplicates, and exclude suspected bots.
  4. 4. Spin the wheel — Click "Load into wheel & spin" to launch the draw. Screen-record the spin to post as transparent proof.

Giveaway Rules You Can Enforce

  • Tag 1 / 2 / 3 friends: Use the "Minimum @ tags" filter. Only entries with at least N @mentions are kept.
  • Must comment a specific word: Use "Required keyword" (e.g. "ENTER", "#contest", "✅") — only matching comments stay.
  • One entry per person: "Remove duplicate usernames" is on by default.
  • Multiple entries per person: Toggle "Allow multiple entries" and set a max (e.g. 3) — useful when you give bonus entries for sharing.
  • No bots: "Exclude suspected bots" removes accounts with suspicious patterns (all numbers, no vowels, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I paste comments from Instagram or TikTok directly?

Yes. Copy your comments directly from your phone or browser, paste them into the text area. The tool automatically extracts usernames from formats like '@user: comment text' as well as plain usernames one per line.

How do I filter by 'must tag 2 friends'?

Use the 'Minimum @ tags in comment' filter. Set it to 2 and only participants whose comments contain at least 2 @mentions will be kept. This is the standard giveaway rule 'tag 2 friends to enter'.

Can I paste from Google Sheets or Excel?

Yes. Copy your column of names from Google Sheets, Excel or Word and paste directly. The tool handles one name per line, tab-separated columns (it uses the first column), and @username formats.

How do I pick multiple winners at once?

Use the 'Number of winners' selector in the wheel section. Set it to 2, 3, or more and each spin selects that many unique winners from your list.

Can I use this as proof that my giveaway was fair?

Yes. Screen-record the spin (with your participant list visible) and post the video. The visual wheel animation shows all participants in real time — there is nothing to hide and the result cannot be manipulated after the fact.
