What people use this wheel for
A random picker wheel fits more moments than you would expect. The favorites:
Classrooms and schools
Call on students without favoritism, pick presentation order, or split a class into groups. Remove each winner as you go so nobody gets picked twice.
Raffles and giveaways
Paste your entrant list, spin for a winner, then remove them before the next draw. Share the link so entrants can see exactly which list they were in.
Meetings and teams
Decide who presents first, who takes the notes, and which task belongs to whom — without the five-minute negotiation.
Game night
Replace a lost board-game spinner, pick categories or truth-or-dare prompts, or choose a character build the honest way.
Streams and communities
Run live giveaways and viewer challenges in fullscreen, with tick sounds and confetti doing half of the entertaining for you.
Everyday decisions
What is for dinner, which movie tonight, whose turn it is to wash up. Spin once and get on with the evening.
How to pick a random name in three steps
The wheel above is live and ready. This is the entire workflow.
Load your names
Type entries one at a time or paste an entire list — up to 500 per wheel. Sort or shuffle if the order matters.
Spin the wheel
One click and the wheel takes off. The winner is drawn from a cryptographic random source the instant you click, and the animation lands on exactly that pick.
Keep, remove, or share
Continue leaves every name in play. Remove winner pulls the pick out for good, so you can draw several names without repeats. Then share a link to the exact wheel.
Fair enough to stake a prize on
Most wheel sites stop at looks random. This one can show its work.
Plenty of wheel sites quietly call Math.random() random and leave it there. This wheel draws its winner from crypto.getRandomValues — the browser's cryptographic random source — and converts it with rejection sampling, so no entry ever gets a sliver of extra odds.
The winner is fixed before the wheel moves. The animation is computed to land on that exact entry with a little natural jitter, which means the spin can never disagree with the draw — the draw came first.
An editor that keeps up with you
Small conveniences that add up when you build wheels every week.
Up to 500 entries
Long class lists and big raffles fit. Labels fade gracefully as the wheel fills so it stays readable.
Undo and redo
Twenty steps of takebacks, so experimenting with a wheel never feels risky.
Sort and shuffle
Alphabetize a messy list, or shuffle it for a bit of suspense before the first spin.
Remove winner mode
Draw names without replacement across multiple spins — the standard way to run a raffle.
Fullscreen and sound
Game-show-style spins with tick sounds, a win fanfare, and confetti — and you can silence the lot.
Dark mode
A proper dark theme for late-night streams, gaming, and grading sessions.
AI Assist
Describe the list you want — thirty dog names, eight quiz topics — and get a draft wheel in seconds.
Themes and colors
Premade palettes, custom slice colors, and text sizing that keeps long names legible.
Your wheels, on your terms
Private by default, shareable on demand.
Saved on your device, not a server
Every wheel you build lives in your browser's local storage — no account, no cloud copy, nobody else reading your lists. Deleted wheels rest in Recently Deleted for seven days, just in case.
One link to share it anywhere
Sharing turns the current wheel into a permanent link. Recipients spin the exact same wheel and can save their own editable copy, while your original stays untouched. Shared wheels can also be published to a public page others can browse and fork.
Frequently asked questions
Everything else people ask before their first spin.
Is this random name wheel free to use?
Yes. Building, spinning, and sharing wheels is completely free, with unlimited spins and no account required. There is no wheel limit and no core feature locked behind a paywall.
How many names can the wheel hold?
Up to 500 entries per wheel, with up to 50 characters per entry. To keep things readable, slice labels start fading at around 60 entries and switch off past 100 — the wheel itself keeps working all the way to the limit.
Can the wheel remove a name once it wins?
Yes. After every spin the winner popup offers Continue or Remove winner. Removing the name takes it out of the wheel, so the next spin draws from the remaining names — the usual way to run raffles and door prizes without repeats.
Do I need an account, and where are my wheels saved?
No account is needed. Wheels are saved automatically in your browser's local storage on your device. A wheel only reaches the server when you create a share link, so the people you send it to can open the same wheel.
How do I share my wheel with other people?
Click Share to get a permanent link to the exact wheel — title, names, and all. Anyone with the link can spin the same wheel, and Edit Wheel saves them an editable copy while your original stays as it was.
Is the wheel really random and fair?
Yes. Winners are drawn from crypto.getRandomValues using rejection sampling, which means no modulo bias and exactly equal odds for every entry. The spin animation always lands on the entry the random draw picked.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes — the wheel is fully responsive and runs in any modern browser. Spin with a tap, flip to fullscreen for the full game-show effect, and your wheels stay saved in that browser.
