How to use it

A clean random name draw for classes, meetings and games

The name picker handles one or many winners and keeps unique draws simple. It is useful when you want a neutral selection without manually shuffling slips or favoring the first names in a list.

  1. Paste one name per line.
  2. Choose how many names you need.
  3. Keep No repeats on for unique selections.

Tip: For visible audience participation, the Wheel Spinner uses the same kind of fair random selection with an animated wheel.

Fair by design

Randomness without an account

ChooseRandomly uses crypto.getRandomValues() when the browser supports it, with unbiased integer selection for picks and shuffles. Core tool inputs are handled in your browser rather than sent to a ChooseRandomly list database.
