The random name picker wheel

Paste your names one per line, hit spin, and the Random Name Picker lands on a fair winner using crypto-grade randomness — not Math.random. It's built for the front of a classroom or a live audience: send it to Presentation mode and the chosen name fills the screen, readable from the back row. No login, no app, and the names you type never leave your browser.

Random Name Picker Wheel — frequently asked questions

Is the Random Name Picker Wheel free?

Yes — the Random Name Picker Wheel is completely free, with no login and no sign-up. Pro removes the small ads and lifts the saved-boards limit, but the wheel itself is never behind a paywall.

Can I change the options on the wheel?

Absolutely. The 10 options are just a starting point. Open the wheel, edit the list one entry per line, and your changes appear on the wheel instantly. Save it as your own board or share a link.

Is the spin actually random?

Yes. Roue picks the winning segment with crypto-grade randomness (the Web Crypto API's getRandomValues), not Math.random. The visual spin is calibrated to land exactly on the chosen result.

Does it work on a projector or shared screen?

Yes. Presentation mode hides the controls and scales the wheel and result to fill any screen — a classroom projector, a stage display, or a stream overlay. Press ESC to exit.
