YouTube Comment Picker
Run a fair giveaway in seconds. Paste your YouTube comments or entrant list, choose how many winners to draw, optionally remove duplicates and require a keyword like #giveaway, and the picker selects winners at random — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
The draw is random and runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. To gather entries, open your video's comments, select all and copy, then paste here. For a fair, repeatable giveaway, screen-record the pick so entrants can see it was unbiased.
Straight to the point
How do I pick a random winner from YouTube comments?
Open your video's comments, copy the names or comments you want to enter, and paste them here one per line. Set how many winners you want, optionally remove duplicates and require a keyword, then click pick. The tool draws winners at random in your browser — no signup and nothing is uploaded.
Is this comment picker fair and random?
Yes. It uses a Fisher–Yates shuffle, a standard unbiased shuffling method, so every valid entry has an equal chance. The draw runs locally in your browser. For a transparent giveaway, screen-record the pick so your entrants can see it wasn't rigged.
What makes the Comment Picker useful
Giveaways boost engagement, but picking a winner by hand looks biased and is tedious. A transparent random draw is fair, fast, and easy to show on screen for credibility.
