Fair draws
Cryptographically random selection and shuffling.
Pick or shuffle
Choose a single winner or randomize the full order.
Free & private
Your list never leaves your device.
Pick a giveaway winner fairly
Running an Instagram, YouTube, or Twitch giveaway? Paste every entrant's name or handle, one per line, and hit Pick a random one to draw a single winner. Each name has an equal chance because the draw uses your browser's cryptographic random source, so the result is genuinely fair and defensible if an entrant questions it. The live count confirms how many entries you pasted before drawing.
Randomize a contestant or presentation order
When the sequence matters more than one winner, use Shuffle all to reorder the entire list at once. Drop in speakers, contestants, debate teams, or interview slots and get a numbered running order using an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle. Nobody gets a fixed advantage from going first or last, and a copy button lets you paste the finished lineup straight into your agenda, schedule, or chat.
Assign teams or chores without bias
Settle who does what without anyone claiming the split was rigged. Paste the people or tasks, one per line, and shuffle the list to generate a neutral order you can deal out into groups, pairs, or a chore rota. Because the whole list stays in your browser and never gets uploaded, it works for family chores, classroom groups, or office assignments without sharing names with any server.
