Frequently Asked Questions

How does TblrPicker pick a giveaway winner?

TblrPicker collects every eligible comment from your public Tumblr post, applies the filters you choose, and then runs a cryptographically secure CSPRNG Fisher–Yates shuffle to select winners. Every qualifying entry gets the exact same odds, so no one — including us — can influence the result.

What is TblrPicker and who is it for?

TblrPicker is a Tumblr comment picker for giveaways and contests. It scrapes the public comments on a Tumblr post, filters out ineligible entries, and randomly selects winners. It's built for creators, artists, writers, and brands of any size — from someone running a first giveaway to teams running weekly contests.

Is TblrPicker free to use?

Yes, you can start for free. New users get 3 free trial draws to test the full workflow before committing. After that, a low-cost subscription ($5/month or $50/year) unlocks unlimited scraping, multi-winner draws, advanced filters, and CSV exports.

How does TblrPicker make sure a draw is fair?

After collecting your eligible entries, TblrPicker uses a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) with a Fisher–Yates shuffle to choose winners. This gives every qualifying entry an equal, unpredictable chance. The result can't be manipulated by anyone, including our team.

Do I need to log in to Tumblr to use it?

No. TblrPicker never asks for your Tumblr password or OAuth login. You simply paste the public URL of the post you want to draw from, and the tool reads only the publicly visible comment data.

Do I need a Tumblr password or login to use it?

No. TblrPicker never asks for your password or an OAuth connection. You only paste the public URL of the post you want to draw from, and the tool reads the publicly visible comment data. This keeps your account secure and your setup simple.

Can I pick more than one winner and filter entries?

Absolutely. You can choose any number of winners, remove duplicate accounts, exclude replies, and require entries to contain specific keywords or hashtags such as "entered" or "joined" so only valid participants are included.

How much does TblrPicker cost?

You can start with 3 free trial draws. After that, paid plans are $5/month (the Creator plan, billed monthly and cancellable anytime) or $50/year (the Growth plan, which saves roughly $10 compared with monthly billing). Both plans unlock scraping, random winner selection, filters, and exports.

Can I download proof of a fair draw?

Yes. You can export your scraped comments and your final winner list as CSV (and other formats) so you have clean, shareable records that prove your giveaway was random and transparent.

Can I pick multiple winners at once?

Yes. You can choose any number of winners in a single draw, which is ideal for tiered prizes or backup winners. Each winner is selected through the same fair, random process.

What filters can I apply to entries?

You can require entries to contain specific keywords or hashtags (such as "entered" or "joined"), include or exclude replies, and remove duplicate accounts so a single user can't gain an unfair advantage. Filters let you draw only from genuinely valid participants.

Can I export my comments and winners?

Yes. You can export both your scraped comments and your final winner list as CSV files for clean, shareable records. Exports make it easy to prove a draw was fair and to keep an organized history of your giveaways.

Why didn't all the comments load, or why is my entry count low?

The most common causes are a private or restricted post, an incorrect or mistyped URL, or filters that are stricter than you intended. Make sure the post is public, double-check the URL, and review your keyword and reply settings. If it still looks off, email [email protected] with the post URL, and we'll help.

Is using TblrPicker allowed, and is it affiliated with Tumblr?

TblrPicker is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tumblr. It only reads public data. You're responsible for making sure your giveaway follows Tumblr's policies and any laws that apply to promotions in your region. Used as intended, it's simply a fair way to pick winners from public comments.
