What is this tool?
Random Name Picker takes a list of names you enter and selects one at random using your browser's random number generator. With repeats disabled, each name you pick is removed from the pool so you can keep drawing without choosing the same person twice.
Common uses
- Picking a winner from a list of giveaway entries
- Choosing who goes first in a game or activity
- Assigning tasks or roles fairly within a group
- Randomly selecting participants for a raffle

FAQ
Is my list of names uploaded anywhere?
No. The picking happens entirely in your browser — your list is never sent to a server.
Can I pick more than one name?
Yes — turn on "Remove picked names" and click Pick repeatedly to draw multiple names without repeats.
Is there a limit to how many names I can enter?
No hard limit, though very long lists may take a moment longer to process in older browsers.
