What DrawPilot can read on Instagram
Works with an Instagram Business or Creator account, through Instagram’s official API. We’re honest about what each platform does and doesn’t share.
Post & Reel comments
Everyone who commented on a post or Reel on your account.
Tag-a-friend rules
Only count comments that mention a set number of @friends.
Keyword & hashtag rules
Only count comments with your giveaway word or #hashtag.
Comment replies
Choose whether replies count as entries.
Likes
Instagram doesn’t share the list of people who liked a post with any app, so like-only giveaways can’t be checked.

Everything you need to pick the right winner
One entry per person
Duplicate comments from the same account count once — or allow one entry per comment if your rules say so.
Rules you can check
Require a keyword or hashtag, skip replies, and leave out your own account’s comments.
Several winners
Draw as many winners as you need, one at a time — handy for backup winners too.
Fair and saved
Secure random selection, and every winner is saved to your history so you can prove the result.

Instagram giveaway questions
Does it work with personal Instagram accounts?
Instagram only lets apps read comments on Business or Creator accounts. Switching is free in the Instagram app settings.
Can I check if entrants tagged friends?
Yes — you’ll be able to require a minimum number of @mentions in each comment.
Can I pick from likes?
No tool that follows Instagram’s rules can see who liked a post. Ask entrants to comment instead.
Is the winner really random?
Yes. DrawPilot picks the winner with a cryptographically secure random generator before the animation starts, and every eligible entry has the same chance. The 25-second marquee is the show — it never decides the result.
Does DrawPilot use the official Instagram API?
Yes. DrawPilot will only use Instagram’s official API with your permission. It never scrapes pages, never asks for your password, and never posts or replies for you.
What can I use right now?
Every other part of DrawPilot works today: import participants from a CSV or Excel file (for example, comments you copied into a spreadsheet), run the live draw, pick multiple winners and export results.
