Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a random comment on Instagram?+
Paste the URL of any public Instagram post (or Reel/IGTV) into Sorteiogram, and the tool automatically loads all comments via Meta's official API. Choose how many winners you want and click Pick. The result appears in seconds with a public SHA-256 hash that mathematically proves nothing was manipulated. No signup, free in manual mode (up to 200 participants).
Is this Instagram comment picker really free?+
Yes. The free manual mode allows unlimited draws for posts with up to 200 comments (you paste the participants). There is no registration required, no credit card, no watermark. Paid tiers ($4.99–$14.99 one-time, not subscription) unlock >100 comments, PDF certificate, anti-bot detection and premium cinematic reveal.
How does SHA-256 verification work?+
Before running the draw, Sorteiogram computes a 32-byte cryptographic seed and publishes its SHA-256 hash. After the draw, the seed is revealed. Anyone in the world can recompute SHA-256(seed) and compare with the original hash — if they match, the draw wasn't altered. This is provably fair mathematics, not marketing claim.
Which post types work?+
Instagram feed posts, Reels, IGTV videos, carousels, and Stories with comments. Also supports YouTube videos, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook posts, Kwai and Threads.
Can I filter followers, tags, or duplicates?+
Yes. Sorteiogram lets you require the user to follow your account, require @mentions of friends, filter duplicates (only 1 entry per person), exclude specific users, and remove bots via AI detection (paid tier).
How does this compare to Comment Picker (commentpicker.com)?+
Sorteiogram is the only Instagram comment picker with public SHA-256 cryptographic verification. Comment Picker doesn't offer that. We also support PIX for LATAM (Comment Picker doesn't), have 13 languages, one-time payment (no subscription), and a cinematic 45-second reveal for Live draws (Premium tier).
Do you support Instagram Reels comments?+
Yes. Paste the Reel URL and comments load automatically. Same SHA-256 audit applies. Works with all Reel privacy settings that are public.
Is Sorteiogram compliant with GDPR / US FTC / UK ASA?+
Yes. Sorteiogram never stores participant PII beyond the draw record (LGPD/GDPR minimum). The draw process is documented, auditable, and compatible with FTC Endorsement Guides (US), CAP Code / ASA guidance (UK), ACMA (Australia), CRTC (Canada) and CONAR (Brazil) requirements for random selection with proof.
