TblrPicker began with a simple, slightly frustrating problem: running a Tumblr giveaway should be fun, but picking the winner usually wasn't. Creators were screenshotting reblogs, scrolling through hundreds of notes, copying usernames into random number generators, and still ending up with comments from their audience asking whether the draw was rigged. We thought the people who put in the effort to grow a community deserved better — and so did the followers who hit "reblog" hoping for a fair chance.
That belief became the foundation of TblrPicker. We are a free-to-start, independent giveaway tool built specifically for Tumblr creators, brands, and communities. Our entire job is to take the public comments on your post, treat every eligible entry equally, and pick a winner you can stand behind. No favorites. No quiet thumb on the scale. Not even from us.
What TblrPicker actually does
At its core, TblrPicker is a Tumblr comment picker and scraper. You paste the public URL of your giveaway post, choose how many winners you want, set any filters you need, and let the tool do the heavy lifting. It loads the eligible comments, removes the noise, and runs a transparent random draw.
Behind that simple flow is a deliberately serious approach to fairness. We don't use a casual "pick a number" trick. TblrPicker selects winners using a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator paired with a Fisher–Yates shuffle. In plain language: every qualifying entry is given a genuinely equal probability of being chosen, and the result can't be predicted or manipulated. That's the difference between a giveaway that feels fair and one that is fair.
You stay in control of who qualifies. With keyword filters, you can require entries to include specific phrases like "entered" or a campaign hashtag. You can exclude replies, strip out duplicate accounts so no one enters ten times under one name, and pick multiple winners at once for tiered prizes. When the draw is done, you can export your comments and winners as clean CSV records, ready to share as proof or keep for your own giveaway history.
Built around trust, not logins
One of the first decisions we made was that TblrPicker would never ask for your Tumblr password or an OAuth connection to your account. We don't want that level of access, and you shouldn't have to hand it over just to run a contest. Instead, the tool works entirely from public post URLs and reads only the comment data that's already visible to anyone. Less access means less risk for you and a smaller footprint for us — which is exactly how a lightweight utility should behave.
This privacy-first mindset runs through everything. We collect as little as possible, we're upfront about what the tool does, and we keep the experience focused on a single job done well rather than burying you in features you'll never touch.
Who we're for
TblrPicker is designed to scale with you. If you're a small artist or writer running your very first giveaway, the free trial draws and the clean, beginner-friendly interface mean you can pick a winner in minutes without reading a manual. If you're a brand or a high-volume creator running weekly contests, the subscription unlocks the speed, filtering, multi-winner options, and exportable records you need to keep campaigns organized and defensible.
Across all of those use cases, the promise stays the same: a fast, fair, and friendly draw that respects both your time and your audience's trust.
Part of a wider family of tools
TblrPicker doesn't exist in isolation. It's part of a broader family of giveaway and comment-picker tools built for the platforms creators actually use — from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to Reddit, Discord, Threads, Bluesky, and more. Each tool is tuned to the quirks of its own platform, but they all share the same core values: transparency, fairness, and a refusal to make winner selection complicated. If your community lives across several networks, you'll find a familiar, trustworthy experience wherever you run your next contest.
Our commitment to fairness
We hold ourselves to a standard we'd want any giveaway tool to meet. The randomization is unbiased by design. The process is repeatable and explainable. And the records are exportable so that, if a follower ever asks "how do I know this was real?", you have a straightforward, honest answer. Fairness isn't a marketing line for us — it's the product.
We also believe a giveaway tool should be affordable. Engagement campaigns shouldn't require enterprise budgets, which is why our pricing stays low and simple, with a free trial so you can confirm the tool fits your workflow before you ever pay.
Always improving
Tumblr changes, giveaway formats evolve, and creators keep finding new ways to run contests. We treat TblrPicker as a living tool, refining the scraper, sharpening the filters, and adding export and analytics options based on what real organizers tell us they need. The feedback we receive from creators directly shapes the roadmap.
