How to use it

Three steps

Copy the comments

Open the post on instagram.com in a computer browser, scroll until every comment has loaded, then select the comments and copy them.

Paste and set the rules

One entry per person, a minimum number of tagged friends, a keyword or hashtag, and accounts to leave out, such as your own.

Draw and check

Pick the winners, screenshot the result card, then check by hand that each winner follows the rules you announced before you contact them.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Something missing? Ask us

Can this tool see my Instagram comments?

No. It only reads the text you paste. It does not log in to Instagram, cannot see comments you did not paste, and cannot check who follows you or who liked the post. Check those by hand for each winner before you announce.

How do I copy comments from Instagram?

Open the post on instagram.com in a computer browser, scroll the comments until no more load, select them with your mouse and copy. The Instagram phone app does not let you copy many comments at once.

How is the winner picked fairly?

Each eligible entry is numbered and the winning number comes from your browser’s secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), without rounding bias. Each person can win only once. The draw happens on your device; ViralDM never sees it.

Why does my count differ from Instagram’s comment count?

Instagram’s count includes replies and comments that may not have loaded or been copied. The tool counts only what it can read in your paste, and your rules (one entry per person, tags, keyword) remove more.

Can I prove the draw was fair?

The result card shows the time of the draw, the number of entries and the rules used, so screenshot it or screen-record the draw. ViralDM’s own giveaway feature keeps a repeatable draw and a proof file.
