Name Picker Tools
Pick a random name, spin a visual wheel, draw winners, avoid repeats, shuffle a roster or split people into teams. These tools are built for classrooms, giveaways, meetings, games and group decisions.
Which name picker should I use?
Pick a Random Name
Fastest option when you just need one or more names from a pasted list.
Wheel of Names
Best when the reveal matters and you want a visual spin on screen.
No-Repeat Name Picker
Works through every name once before anyone can be picked again.
Random Student Picker
A classroom-focused picker with no-repeat behavior and projector-friendly results.
More list and draw tools

Draw one or more winners from handles, emails, ticket IDs or entry lists.
Random Team Picker

List Shuffler
Shuffle an entire list when order matters more than a single winner.
Random Name Generator

Best used for
Name pickers are strongest when your input is a list of people, options, teams, tasks or entries. Use a no-repeat picker for rotation fairness, a winner picker for documented draws, a wheel for live reveals, and a list shuffler when you need a full random order.
