Free tool

YouTube giveaway winner picker

Paste your YouTube giveaway entrants and draw a real, cryptographically random winner — entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded. This does not fetch YouTube’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. YouTube’s own contest policies still apply to how you run the giveaway.

0 entrants parsed. Nothing here is uploaded — the list and the draw both happen in your browser.

How to use the YouTube giveaway picker

  1. Collect your entrants from YouTube. Copy commenter names or channel names from the actual video’s comment section.
  2. Paste them in, one per line. Duplicates can be allowed (one entry per comment) or removed (one entry per unique person).
  3. Set how many winners to draw. Draws distinct winners with no repeats when you ask for more than one.
  4. Draw the winner. A cryptographically random pick from exactly your pasted list, computed in your browser.
  5. Follow YouTube’s contest policies. YouTube has its own contest requirements (an official set of rules, eligibility, etc.) — this tool doesn’t enforce or verify compliance for you.

Worked examples

Picking 1 winner from subscriber comments

Paste every eligible commenter’s name — this tool draws fairly from exactly that 1 list, but has no way to verify who actually subscribed.

Picking 2 winners for a two-prize giveaway

Ask for 2 winners and the tool draws 2 distinct entrants with no repeats in one pass.

YouTube giveaway picker FAQ

Does this tool pull comments from my YouTube video automatically?
No — it draws from exactly the list you paste in. Fetching a video’s actual comments would require the channel owner’s OAuth access, which a public tool like this cannot safely do.
Can it verify who actually subscribed to my channel?
No — it has no way to check subscription status; you’re responsible for pasting in only entrants who actually met your entry rules.
Does this tool handle YouTube’s contest requirements for me?
No — YouTube’s own contest policies (official rules, eligibility disclosures, etc.) still apply, and you’re responsible for following them.
Is my entrant list uploaded anywhere?
No — parsing and drawing both happen entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Can I pick more than one winner at once?
Yes — set the winner count and the tool draws that many distinct entrants, with no repeats, in a single pass.
Does this work for a Community post giveaway, not just video comments?
Yes — paste whatever list of names you collected, regardless of whether they came from a video’s comments or a Community post.
