0 valid entries

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.

Quick answers

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.

Why this tool

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.

What is the Comment Picker?

The YouTube Comment Picker is a random winner selector for giveaways: you paste entries and it draws one or more winners fairly, with duplicate removal and keyword filtering.

Who should use it?

Creators running comment giveaways or contests, and anyone who needs a quick, fair random pick from a list of names or comments.

Common use cases

  • Picking a winner for a comment giveaway

  • Any fair random selection from a list

Pro tips

  • Require your giveaway hashtag so only real entrants are included.
  • Turn on duplicate removal for one entry per person.
  • Screen-record the pick and share it for transparency.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving in duplicate comments so one person gets multiple entries.
  • Forgetting to require the giveaway keyword, letting non-entrants win.

  • Pasting entries in a format other than one per line.
