Random name picker & wheel of names
Spin the wheel to pick a random winner, or draw a random number, flip a coin, roll dice, shuffle a list and split fair teams. Real randomness from your device — no signup, no ads.
A free decision wheel and random name picker for classrooms, giveaways, standups and streams. Type your names, hit spin, and let your device's crypto random number generator pick a random winner. Share your wheel as a link, remove names as they're picked, and use it offline.
Questions people ask
How do I pick a random name?
Type or paste your names into the wheel of names, one per line, then press Spin. The wheel spins with a real eased slowdown and lands on a random winner, which is announced in the banner. It's the same "spin the wheel" flow teachers and streamers use live — but free, with no signup.
Can I share my wheel or list?
Yes. Press "Copy list link" and your entire entries list is packed into a shareable URL — nothing is stored on a server. Send it to a colleague or open it on another device and the same wheel loads, ready to spin. Your last list is also saved in this browser so you can resume it later.
Is it really random?
Yes. Every spin, random number, coin flip, dice roll and team draw uses your device's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) — the same source used for security keys — not a predictable pattern. It's genuinely random and unbiased.
Is there a signup or ads?
No. No account, no email, no ads, no upload, no limits. The whole random name picker runs in your browser. The uploads counter in the top bar stays at 0 — you can watch it.
Can I remove a name after it's picked?
Yes. Turn on "Remove winner after spin" and each picked name is taken out of the wheel automatically, so you can draw a random winner without repeats — perfect for raffles, giveaways and picking an order.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working with no connection — it's just code running on your device. Turn off Wi-Fi and the wheel, random number generator, coin, dice and team generator all still work.
How this works & why it’s private
This random picker runs entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript and a <canvas> wheel — there is no server involved in picking anything. Every spin, number, flip, roll and team split is drawn from crypto.getRandomValues, your device's cryptographic random number generator, so results are genuinely random and unbiased. Your names never leave the device: the "Copy list link" button encodes them into the URL itself (compressed, client-side) rather than uploading them. To verify, open your browser's dev-tools Network tab and watch it while you spin — nothing uploads, and the trust badge at the top stays at 0.
