About the tool
How to pick a winner on Instagram from comments
Pick an Instagram winner without login: copy the public post or Reels link and paste it into the form above. SOM loads comments, applies duplicate and keyword/hashtag filters, and selects a winner at random — no Instagram password. Entry = comment (not likes).
Instagram giveaways use the same transparency flow as other SOM platforms: share a transparency certificate in Stories. Need one pool from Instagram and other networks? Use multi-giveaway. Separate CSV/username export uses Meta Login on the Export page (official Meta partner). Some business/creator cases use the official Meta Graph API.

FAQ
FAQ: pick a winner on Instagram
How do I pick an Instagram giveaway winner?
Paste your giveaway post link into SOM. Comments load from the public link — no Instagram password. Duplicates can be removed, then a winner is picked at random. Some Instagram cases use the official Meta Graph API (business/creator). Share a transparency certificate in Stories if you want. Separate CSV/username export for your IG/FB posts uses Meta Login.
What link do I need for an Instagram giveaway?
Use the public post or Reels URL from Share or the browser. Private profiles or unavailable posts cannot be read. No Instagram password is required.
Do I need Instagram login or password for a giveaway?
No for a standard giveaway: a public post or Reels URL is enough — no Instagram password. Meta Login is only for separate CSV/username export on the Export page. Some business/creator cases use the official Meta Graph API.
Can I pick an Instagram winner by likes?
No. SOM works only with comments under the post — not likes. State clearly in your rules that entry = comment.
How many free Instagram giveaways can I run?
Limits are shared across platforms, including Instagram: 3 giveaways per day, up to 100 comments each — with filters and a transparency certificate. No card required to start. For larger pools or more daily draws, choose a paid plan.
Is there a free randomizer for Instagram giveaway winners?
Yes. SOM lets you run 3 giveaways per day for free (up to 100 comments each) on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads. Paste a post link — SOM detects the platform and collects comments. No card required to start.
Is SOM safe to use for Instagram giveaways?
Yes. SOM never asks for or stores social passwords. Comment giveaways run from a public post link; official Meta Login / Graph API is for Instagram/Facebook export and cases where the platform requires business or creator access; for TikTok — official TikTok API (official TikTok partner) via link or TikTok Login. You control permissions. Every giveaway can include a transparency certificate.
Why does Instagram need a business or creator account?
When comments are loaded via Meta Graph API, Meta only grants access to business or creator accounts — a platform rule, not a password workaround. Many homepage giveaways start from a public post link alone. Meta Login is required for exporting comments (CSV / usernames) from your Instagram and Facebook posts.
How do I start a giveaway in SOM?
Paste a post link from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, or Threads, set the number of winners, and click Pick winner. SOM collects comments, applies filters, and selects winners randomly. Your first 3 giveaways per day are free.
How are winners actually selected?
After comments load, SOM uses a cryptographically fair random algorithm. You can re-run or pick again if needed. Each result can include a transparency certificate for Stories or your post.
What participant filters does SOM support?
Duplicate filter (one person = one entry; leave duplicates on if multiple comments should mean multiple chances) and keyword/hashtag filter. You can review winners before announcing. There is no filter by number of tagged friends in a comment.
