How Do I Pick a Winner From Instagram Comments?

If your Instagram giveaway uses comment entries, the fairest way to pick a winner is by using a verified random drawing tool. Manual methods like scrolling through comments or taking screenshots can appear biased, introduce human error, or miss duplicate entries.

Gleam’s Instagram Comment Picker — also known as Quick Draws — lets you import all comment entries directly from your Instagram post. You can:

  • Apply filters for specific keywords or hashtags
  • Exclude duplicate entries automatically
  • Pick one or multiple winners at random
  • Verify required actions like tagging or mentions

This ensures every entry follows your rules and that the draw is completely fair. Gleam’s system also improves transparency, making it easier to announce your winner confidently and maintain trust with your audience.

If you want to include comment-based entries as part of a larger campaign, Gleam supports full Instagram integration and advanced entry methods for running more complex competitions.
