Wheel of Names

Q: What is a wheel of names?

A wheel of names is an interactive online picker that spins to select a random name or item from a list. It is commonly used as a digital selector for classroom students, raffle drawings, giveaway winners, games, or simple decisions.

Q: Can I remove winners after each spin?

Yes. When the wheel lands on a winner, a popup modal appears with an option to "Remove Winner." This deletes that name from the input list, updating the wheel wedges automatically for the next spin. You can also toggle "Remove Winner After Spin" in the settings panel to do this automatically.

Q: Can I use this for giveaways?

Yes. It works perfectly for giveaways, raffles, and promotions. Simply paste the list of participant names, spin, and let the wheel choose the winner fairly with festive visual confetti and sound effects.

Input your custom list of names or choices and spin the wheel. A simple and free name picker for teachers, giveaways, and decision-making.

Everything runs directly in your browser, keeping your names and lists completely private on your device.
