About This Tool

The Random Name Picker lets you enter a list of names and draw one or more winners completely at random. It is the perfect tool for classroom activities, office raffles, giveaway drawings, team selections, or any situation where you need a fair and transparent random pick.

Simply paste or type your names - one per line or comma-separated - and hit the pick button. The tool uses cryptographically secure random selection to ensure every name has an equal chance. You can pick a single winner or select multiple names at once for group drawings.

Enable the "remove after picking" option for multi-round drawings where the same person should not be picked twice. An animated reveal adds excitement to the selection process, making it ideal for live events and presentations. The tool handles lists of any size and keeps a history of previous picks for full transparency.
