Picker Wheel
A random picker for names and choices. Type your list, spin, and save it for next time.
Press Spin to pick a name
Saved lists (kept in this browser)
Quick lists
Shortcut: press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to spin.
Your lists never leave your browser. The winner is chosen with your device's secure random generator before the wheel starts turning, so every name has the same chance.
Wheel templates and tools
Each template opens a ready-made wheel you can edit, spin and share.
In short
Type names or choices, one per line, press Spin and the wheel picks one at random. Save lists in your browser, load quick lists like Yes/No or Dinner, remove winners after each spin and copy a link to share the wheel. Free, with no app and no signup.
What to put on a picker wheel
- People — students to call on, giveaway entrants, who presents next, who buys the coffee.
- Choices — where to eat, which film, which game to play. Use the Dinner quick list or type your own.
- Numbers — the 1 to 10 quick list picks a number; paste a longer list for raffle tickets.
- Yes or no — the Yes / No quick list turns the wheel into an answer machine.
Saved lists: why they matter
Most people use the same list again and again: the class register, the team, the family's takeaway favourites. Name a list and save it once. Next time tap its chip and the wheel is ready. The list you used last is also restored when you open the page. Saved lists live in your browser on that device; copy the link to this wheel to open the same list somewhere else.
How to make a picker wheel
- Type your options in the box, one per line, or paste a column from a spreadsheet. The wheel updates as you type.
- Optional: import a CSV or TXT file, or switch on weights for entries that should come up more often.
- Press Spin the wheel, or Ctrl+Enter. The winner is shown under the wheel.
- Save the list or copy the link so the same wheel is one tap away next time.
Picker wheel for a random name picker
Paste the class, the team or the guest list and spin. Tick Remove the winner and the picker wheel becomes a name picker that never repeats, with a spin history to show who has been picked. Need several winners in one go? The random name picker draws up to ten at once.
Picker wheel for decisions: food, movies, games
The Dinner quick list is a food wheel; for a bigger menu try the food wheel. Add films, games or weekend plans and let the wheel end the argument. For a plain answer use the yes or no wheel.
Picker wheel for giveaways and classrooms
Running a prize draw? The raffle wheel removes each winner automatically. Calling on students? Use the classroom name picker wheel so everyone gets a turn.
Tips for a fair pick
- Check the list on the wheel before you spin. Typos make duplicate slices.
- Turn on ‘Remove the winner’ to run through everyone once.
- Decide the rules before you spin, so nobody asks for another try.
- For two options only, a coin toss is quicker.
Need a topic or question to spin for instead? Try the topic spin the wheel. For weighted options and draws, use the decision maker.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the picker wheel?
Type your names or choices in the box, one per line (or separated by commas). They appear on the wheel straight away. Press Spin and the winner shows under the wheel. You can edit the list at any time.
Can I save my lists?
Yes. Type a name for the list, press Save list, and it appears as a chip you can tap to load again. The wheel also reopens with the list you used last. Lists are stored in your own browser, so they are private, and clearing your browser data removes them. Use Copy link to this wheel to move a list to another device.
Is the picker wheel really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen first with your device's secure random number generator, then the wheel turns to land on it. Every entry has the same chance, whatever its length or position.
How do I stop the same name coming up twice?
Tick 'Remove the winner after each spin'. Each winner leaves the wheel, so you can pick every person once, for example for presentation order or chores.
Is there an app to download?
No. The picker wheel runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is no signup and no popup in front of the wheel.
How many entries can I add?
Up to 200. On a wheel with more than about 30 entries the slice labels are hidden to stay readable, but every entry is in the draw and the winner is shown in large text.
Can I give one entry better odds?
Type it more than once, or switch on weights and set a number from 1 to 100 next to the entry. A weight of 3 means three times the chance of a weight of 1.
Is the picker wheel free online, without an app?
Yes. This picker wheel is a web page. You do not need to install an app from the App Store or Google Play, and there is no account. It works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers.
Can I import a list into the picker wheel?
Yes. Press Import CSV or TXT and choose a file, or paste a column from a spreadsheet. The first column becomes the entries and an optional second column is the weight. Files are read in your browser and never uploaded.
Can I use the picker wheel for a random name picker?
Yes. Put the names in the box and spin. With Remove the winner ticked each person is picked once. To draw several names at once without a wheel, use the random name picker.
Can I see how many times each entry has won?
Yes. Under the wheel, spin history shows the number of wins for every entry and the latest results, with a button to clear it.
Is there a shortcut to spin the wheel?
Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac). If your device is set to reduce motion, the wheel skips the long spin and shows the result at once.
