Random picker
8 items
Your random items appear here.
Some lists are too personal for a preset. This random picker lets you paste your own — names, chores, restaurants, prize entries, anything — one per line, then pulls one at random the moment you press Generate. It is the custom side of the site: instead of a hand-picked theme, the pool is whatever you type, so it works for the exact choice in front of you.
A random picker is really a decision tool. Use it to settle the daily "what should we eat" standoff by dropping in five places and letting the draw choose. Teachers use it as a random name picker for cold-calling, handing out roles, or splitting a class into teams without anyone claiming favouritism. It runs giveaways and raffles too: paste the entrants, turn on No repeats, set the count to the number of prizes, and pull a fair list of winners in one go. Game nights use it for turn order, managers use it to assign the task nobody volunteered for, and anyone stuck between options uses it to break a tie they cannot break themselves.
Paste or type your list, then shape the draw. Pick one for a single decision, or several with No repeats on to draw a set of distinct winners. Switch to the wheel for a spin-the-wheel reveal — a name picker with a bit of suspense, the kind you would put on a screen in front of a room. Switch to a grid to lay several picks out at once, and copy the result straight into a chat or a doc.
Because it is your list, sharing matters: the Share button copies a link that carries your list and settings, so a co-host, a co-teacher, or a friend opens the exact same pool and draws under the same rules. Hand it round before a raffle and everyone can watch the entrants going in.
Your list stays on your device — it is not uploaded or saved on a server, so you can drop in names or anything sensitive without it leaving your screen. There is no sign-up, and no limit on how long your list can be or how many times you draw.
Looking for inspiration instead of your own items? The themed generators — animals, food, Minecraft, D&D and more — draw from hand-picked sets. This page is for the times the right list is the one only you have.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I pick a random item from my own list?
- Paste or type your items into the box, one per line, then press Generate. The picker draws one at random; set the count higher to draw several at once.
- Can I draw multiple winners with no repeats?
- Yes. Turn on No repeats and set the count to the number of winners you need — the draw returns that many distinct entries, which is exactly what a raffle or giveaway wants.
- Is there a wheel or spinner?
- Yes. Switch the format to Wheel and it spins your list to a single pick — a name-picker wheel you can show on screen.
- Does my list get uploaded or saved?
- No. Your list stays on your device and is not stored on a server. A share link carries the list only to whoever you send it to.
