Is the Random Name Picker free, and does it work on my phone?

There's no cost and no account required. The picker works on phones, tablets, and computers, and once loaded it keeps drawing names even offline — useful for a giveaway venue with patchy Wi-Fi.

How many names can I add?

You can add a long list — enough for classrooms, teams, and large giveaways. Enter one name per line, and the wheel keeps every entry legible by shrinking the slice labels as the list grows.

Can I remove a name after it's picked?

Yes. Turn on 'remove winner after spin' and each winning name drops off the wheel automatically, so you can draw several unique winners in a row without repeats.

Can I make one name more likely to win?

Yes. Turn on weighted slices and raise a name's weight to increase its odds — useful for giveaways where some entrants earned extra chances, like referral bonuses or bulk ticket purchases.

Random Name Picker

Drop in your list of names and let the wheel pick one at random. Perfect for giveaways, choosing who goes first, or drawing a fair winner in seconds.

Your wheels save right on your device and the spinner works offline — no sign-up required.

Is the name picker truly random?

Yes. Every spin uses your browser's secure random generator, so each name has an equal chance of being chosen. You can remove a name after it's picked to draw multiple unique winners without repeats.
