How to pick a random name
Paste or type your names, one per line, or import a class list.
Choose a style: card shuffle, slot reels, spotlight scan or wheel.
Press Pick. Turn on “remove picked names” so nobody is chosen twice.
Four ways to reveal a name
A wheel is not always the best stage for a list of thirty names. The name picker gives you four reveals built on the same fair draw: a card shuffle that deals and flips the winning card, slot reels that roll and lock one by one (great for several winners at once), a spotlight that sweeps across a grid of every name before landing, and the classic wheel.
Built for classrooms and teams
Save class lists on your device and switch between them instantly. Use “no repeats until everyone has had a turn” to cycle fairly through a group, and project it on a screen with big, high-contrast type. For groups instead of individuals, try the team generator.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pick more than one name?
Yes. Set how many names to pick and they are drawn together without repeats.
How do I stop the same person being picked twice?
Turn on “remove picked names”. Each pick leaves the list until you reset it.
Are my names stored anywhere?
Only on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a link.
