Wheel spinner: spin the wheel to pick a name

Add names or options, spin the wheel and let chance decide. This free wheel spinner, also called a picker wheel or wheel of names, runs in your browser, needs no sign-up and uses your browser's secure random generator for every spin.

How to spin the wheel

1. Add your entries

Type or paste names or options, one per line. Each line becomes a slice of the wheel.
2. Tidy the list

Each line is its own slice, so delete any name you added twice by mistake. Tap Shuffle to mix the order.
3. Spin

Tap Spin and wait for the wheel to stop. The result appears when it does.
4. Keep going or start over

Turn on Remove winner after each draw to take each winner off the wheel before the next spin. Tap Clear list to start again.

Ways to use a spinning wheel

Decision maker: Can't choose a restaurant, a movie or who does the dishes? Put the options on the wheel and spin. For a yes-or-no wheel, add Yes and No.
Small giveaways: Spin on a live stream or on camera with your entrants' names on the wheel. For Instagram comments, the Gifty app saves you copying names by hand.
Prize wheel: Put prizes on the wheel instead of names, then let each winner spin to see what they get.
Classroom and teams: Pick the next speaker, a team captain or the order of presentations.
Turn order: Settle who goes first in a board game or who takes which chore, one spin at a time.

Can a wheel spinner be rigged?

A wheel is only as fair as the code behind it and the list you put on it. This one decides every spin with your browser's cryptographic random generator (crypto.getRandomValues). There's no setting to make a slice bigger or favor a name, and nothing you add is sent to our servers.

The list is the part to watch. Each line is one slice, so a name added twice gets two chances. Delete repeats before you spin, and if you're spinning in public, show the full list first so everyone can see who's in. Want proof afterwards? Record your screen while the wheel turns.

Wheel spinner FAQ

Is this wheel spinner free?

Yes. There's no sign-up and nothing to install. It runs in your browser.

Can I use this instead of other wheel of names sites?

Yes. Add names, spin and remove winners as you go, the way you're used to. It's free, needs no account, and nothing you add is sent to our servers.

How do I remove a name after it wins?

Turn on Remove winner after each draw before you spin. Each winner leaves the wheel, so the next spin picks from the names that are left.

Can I pick more than one winner?

Spin once for each winner. Turn on Remove winner after each draw first, so nobody wins twice.

Does the wheel work on my phone?

Yes. It works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. There's nothing to download.

Can I make a yes or no wheel?

Yes. Add Yes and No on separate lines. Add Maybe if you want a third option.

Can I spin the wheel for an Instagram giveaway?

For a small list, yes: paste the entrants' usernames and spin on camera. To pick straight from the comments of a post or reel, the Gifty app collects comments from up to 1,000 participants, counts each account once and can record the draw.
