About this YouTube comment picker
This free YouTube comment picker makes giveaways effortless: paste the URL of any video, and we pull its top-level comments straight from the official YouTube Data API and draw a random winner for you. Tick the duplicate-removal option to keep things fair when fans comment more than once. No login, no browser extension, no watermark — just paste, pick, and announce your winner. Works with youtube.com, youtu.be, Shorts, and embed links.
Frequently asked questions
- How many comments does the picker read?
- We pull up to roughly 200 of the video's most recent top-level comments via the official YouTube Data API, then draw the winner from that pool. Replies to comments aren't counted — only top-level comments enter the giveaway. For most videos that covers the entire comment section.
- Is the winner pick fair and random?
- Yes. Every comment in the pool has an equal chance of being chosen — the winner is selected with a uniform random draw, so no comment is weighted more than any other. Run it again and you'll get an independent fresh pick each time.
- Can I remove duplicate entries from the same person?
- Yes. Tick the "remove duplicate commenters" box and we'll keep only one entry per channel before drawing, so someone who commented five times still counts as a single entry. Leave it unticked if you want every comment to count, even repeats.
- Is this free? Are there any limits?
- Completely free — no account, no credit card, no watermark. You can run up to 10 draws per hour. If you want more than a giveaway picker — like finding the breakout videos in your niche and writing full scripts in your own voice — sign up for Outlyo free.
