Post your rules in the video's caption or a pinned comment, ask people to comment and tag friends, and when it closes paste the video link in the picker below. It reads every comment on videos with up to 1,000 comments for free, applies your rules and draws winners and backups with a public result page.

Tool on the page: [TikTok Comment Picker](https://aicommentexporter.com/tiktok-comment-picker/)

## Step by step

1. **Post the rules**: Prize, deadline with a time zone, how to enter, who can enter, how you'll contact the winner. A pinned comment keeps them on top.
2. **Approve entries if you want**: If you only want comments you've checked, like them as the creator; the picker can draw only from comments the creator liked.
3. **Draw after the deadline**: Paste the video link, set the same rules you posted, choose winners and backups, draw.
4. **Announce**: Reply to the winner's comment or post a video, and share the result page link so entrants can see the draw.

## TikTok specifics

- TikTok counts replies in a video's comment count, so the number on the video is higher than the number of entries.
- Only top-level comments are entries; replies under someone else's comment aren't.
- TikTok hands out about nine in ten comments (97% of its count in a November 14, 2026 test). The result page lists every entry the draw used, so anyone can see who was in it.
- Entrants can't be checked for following you without your login; check the winner by hand.

## Questions

**My video has more than 1,000 comments. Now what?** Export its comments with replies off, then press "Pick winners from this file": the same rules, every comment.

**Can I combine a TikTok and an Instagram giveaway?** Yes, up to 10 posts from any of the five platforms in one draw. One entry per person is counted per platform, because accounts on different platforms can't be matched.
