Random Name Picker
Paste a list, press Pick, and get a fair random winner — your list never leaves your browser.
How to use
- Paste your list into the box, one item per line — names, prizes, lunch options, anything.
- Choose how many winners to draw, and whether duplicates in the list should be removed first.
- Press Pick. Press it again any time for a fresh draw.
Examples
Giveaway winner
Paste 100 participant names, set winners to 1, enable “remove duplicate lines” so nobody is entered twice, and press Pick.
Who presents first?
Paste your team members and draw 3 winners — the tool returns them in draw order, so you also get 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
FAQ
Is the draw actually fair?
Yes. Winners are drawn with the browser’s cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), the same class of randomness used for security keys — every line has an equal chance.
Are the names I paste uploaded or logged?
No. The list is processed entirely in your browser, is never sent to our servers, and is not included in analytics.
What does “remove duplicate lines” do?
It deletes repeated entries before drawing so each unique item is entered exactly once. Turn it off if multiple lines should mean multiple entries (weighted chances).
What does “allow repeats” mean?
With repeats on, each winner is drawn from the full list independently, so the same item can win more than once — useful for spinning multiple rounds.
Can I draw more winners than items?
Only with “allow repeats” enabled. Without repeats there are not enough distinct items, and the tool tells you so.
