About this random picker
This free tool draws random winners from any list you provide. Paste names into the text area — one per line, or use commas to separate entries on the same line — then set how many picks you want. By default, each entry can only be chosen once (no repeats), so the draw is fair. If someone has multiple entries in your raffle or giveaway, you can either list their name multiple times, or check Allow repeats to let the same name come up more than once. The "Remove picked entries" option is handy for sequential draws: after each round the winners are removed from the list so you can keep picking fresh names without re-adding them manually. When your browser supports it, picks come from a cryptographically strong source (crypto.getRandomValues); older browsers fall back to Math.random. Nothing is uploaded — all picks happen on your device.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I use the Random Picker?
- Paste or type your list of names or items into the text area — one per line, or comma-separated. Set how many winners to draw, then click Pick. Results appear instantly, numbered in the order they were chosen.
- Can the same name be picked twice?
- By default no — each entry can only win once. If you want to allow the same name to appear more than once (for example, when someone has multiple entries), check Allow repeats before picking.
- Is this tool fair for raffles and giveaways?
- Yes. When your browser supports it, the tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, a cryptographically strong random source built into modern browsers. Everything runs on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
