Random Picker

Paste a list of items and randomly pick one. Fair, instant selection with cryptographic randomness. Great for decisions, raffles and choosing from options.

0 items

Cannot decide between options? Paste your list, click pick, and get an instant random selection. The chosen item is highlighted clearly so there is no ambiguity. Every pick is cryptographically fair.

When to Use the Random Picker

Use the random picker when you have a list of options and need a quick, unbiased selection — choosing a restaurant, picking a movie, selecting a raffle winner, or making any group decision. For a visual experience with a spinning animation, try the wheel spinner instead.

Random Picker Tips

  • Paste directly from a spreadsheet column — each row becomes one item.
  • Weight items by listing them multiple times (e.g. add "Pizza" twice to double its chance).
  • Use it to pick a random task from your to-do list when everything feels equally important.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add items to pick from? ▾

Type or paste your items into the text area, one per line. The picker will randomly select one item from your list when you click Pick.

Is the selection fair? ▾

Yes. Every item has an exactly equal chance of being selected. We use cryptographic randomness via the Web Crypto API.

Can I pick from a large list? ▾

Yes. There is no practical limit on the number of items. Paste hundreds of entries and the picker handles them instantly.

What if I have duplicate items? ▾

Duplicates are treated as separate entries. If "Pizza" appears three times in a list of ten items, it has a 30% chance of being picked.

How is this different from the wheel spinner? ▾

The random picker gives you an instant text result without animation. The wheel spinner provides a visual spinning experience. Both use the same cryptographic randomness.
