Random Picker
Pick random items from a list
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I randomly pick items from a list?
Enter your items (one per line or comma-separated). Set how many to pick. The tool selects items with equal probability. Options: pick with replacement (items can repeat) or without replacement (each item picked once). Results are displayed instantly.
Can I pick a random winner from a list of names?
Yes. Paste all participant names, set picks to 1 (or more for multiple winners). The tool selects randomly with equal probability. For transparency, it shows a timestamp and can generate a shareable result link for verification.
How do I randomly assign people to groups?
Enter all names, set the number of groups. The tool randomly distributes people into equal-sized groups (with remainders distributed to the first groups). Useful for team assignments, study groups, or tournament brackets.
Can I weight certain items to be picked more often?
Yes. Assign weights to items: an item with weight 3 is three times more likely to be picked than one with weight 1. Useful for weighted raffles, probability simulations, or biased random selection scenarios.
How many items can I add to the random picker?
The tool supports up to 10,000 items. Paste from a spreadsheet or text file. For very large lists, the tool processes efficiently using optimized algorithms. Results can be exported as text or CSV for record-keeping.
