YouTube Comment Picker

Pick a random winner from your YouTube video's comments — paste in commenter names (or full comments) and draw a fair, random winner in one click.

📋 How to get the comments: Open your YouTube video, scroll through the comments, and copy the usernames (or comments) you want to include — one per line — into the box below. YouTube doesn't allow picker sites to pull comments automatically without a paid API key, so pasting keeps this tool free and instant for everyone.
WINNER(S)

Why use this instead of picking manually?

Manually scrolling and choosing a "random" comment isn't truly fair — people unconsciously favor comments they remember or like. This tool uses your browser's secure random number generator so every entry has an equal, unbiased chance.

FAQ

Can this pull comments automatically from a video link?

Not without a YouTube API key and backend, which most people don't have. Paste the comments or usernames you want to include instead — it takes under a minute for most giveaways.

Can I exclude bots or spam comments?

Yes — just don't paste them in. Only include the entries you actually want eligible to win.

Is the winner selection fair?

Yes, it uses the same secure random-selection method as the rest of SpinWheeli's tools.

Ways to use the YouTube Comment Picker

  • Choose a winner from the comments on a giveaway video.
  • Pick a random commenter to feature in your next video.
  • Draw a fan-of-the-week from a community post.

Tips for best results

  • Paste one commenter per line and delete repeated lines so each person has one entry.
  • State your giveaway rules in the video description.

Good to know

Does it read YouTube for me?

No. You paste names in yourself, which means SpinWheeli never connects to your YouTube account.
