About this digital tool
The random picker chooses a name or option from a list you provide. Enter the options one per line or separated by commas, click the pick button and get a random result you can use for a draw, tasks or small decisions.
The tool splits the text by lines and commas, removes extra spaces and picks one item with a random index, where each option has the same chance. It also shows how many options you have and what the last pick was. It is useful for choosing a winner in a game, for assigning who does a job, for deciding where to eat or for any situation where you want an impartial choice.
How to use
- Type or paste the options, one per line or separated by commas.
- Check the number of options the tool shows.
- Click the pick button.
- Read the result and repeat if you need another pick.
Frequently asked questions
Is the choice truly random?
Yes — it uses the browser's random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), which gives cryptographic randomness.
How do I enter the list of names?
Type one name per line or separate them with commas. You can paste the list from Excel or a document; the tool removes spaces and counts the options.
Do all options have the same chance?
Yes, each option in the list has an equal chance of being picked. If a name is written twice, it has double the chance, so check the list before pressing the button.
Can I use it for an important draw?
For small draws among friends, yes. For contests with prizes or legal rules, use an official, documented procedure, not a quick web tool.
