A long post on TikTok
TikTok does not fold the text behind "…more", so a 280-character post shows in full; the hard stop is 2,200 characters.
TikTok giveaway winner picker
Paste your TikTok giveaway entrants and draw a real, cryptographically random winner — entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded. This does not fetch TikTok’s actual comments itself (no static tool safely can); paste the usernames or comments you’ve already collected, and it draws fairly from exactly that list. TikTok’s own promotion and giveaway rules still apply to how you run it. TikTok posts take up to 2,200 characters.
How do you use the TikTok giveaway picker?
- Collect your entrants from TikTok. Copy commenter usernames from the actual video.
- Paste them in, one per line. A leading @ is optional — duplicates can be allowed (one entry per comment) or removed (one entry per unique person).
- Set how many winners to draw. Draws distinct winners with no repeats when you ask for more than one.
- Draw the winner. A cryptographically random pick from exactly your pasted list, computed in your browser.
- Follow TikTok’s promotion rules. TikTok has its own giveaway and branded-content guidelines — this tool doesn’t enforce or verify compliance for you.
What are the TikTok rules to know?
The limits SkedCast’s composer checks for TikTok before a post goes out, read from the same rules table the composer uses.
| Text limit | 2,200 characters |
|---|---|
| How length is counted | As you see it: one emoji or accented letter counts as one character |
| Hashtags | No hashtag cap enforced |
| Where the caption is cut off in the feed | Not truncated in the feed |
| Text-only posts | Not allowed: every post needs an image or video |
| Links in the text | No link-preview card |
| First comment | Not offered for this platform |
| Feed crop | 9:16 in the feed preview |
| Images | up to 35 per post · JPEG, WEBP, PNG |

- TikTok does not support polls, threads, or a separate title field.
- TikTok Stories and LIVE are not available via the Content Posting API.
What does it look like in practice?
Picking 1 winner from a comment-to-enter video
Paste every commenter’s username with duplicates allowed if your rule is "each comment is 1 entry," giving frequent commenters proportionally more chances — same as a real raffle.
Picking 1 winner, one entry per person
Turn off duplicates to give each unique commenter exactly one entry regardless of how many times they commented.
TikTok giveaway picker FAQ
- Does this tool pull comments from my TikTok video automatically?
- No — it draws from exactly the list you paste in. Fetching a video’s actual comments would require the account owner’s OAuth access, which a public tool like this cannot safely do.
- Does this tool handle TikTok’s promotion rules for me?
- No — TikTok’s own giveaway and content guidelines still apply, and you’re responsible for following them.
- Does this work for a duet or stitch giveaway, not just comments?
- Yes — paste whatever list of usernames you collected, regardless of the entry method (comment, duet, stitch or a mix), and it draws fairly from exactly that list.
- Can I post text only on TikTok?
- No. Every TikTok post needs at least one image or video; the caption rides along with the media.
- Will TikTok cut off a long caption?
- TikTok does not truncate the text in the feed, so the whole post shows; the limit that matters is the 2,200-character maximum.
- How many hashtags can a TikTok post have?
- SkedCast enforces no hashtag cap for TikTok; the practical limit is the 2,200-character text limit and what reads well.
- What happens to a link in a TikTok post?
- The link counts at its real length, and TikTok shows no link-preview card for it.
