How does the random name picker work?

Our random name picker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure fair selection. Simply add names to the wheel and click spin - the algorithm randomly selects one name with equal probability for each entry.

Is the wheel spinner really fair and random?

Yes! We use JavaScript's crypto.getRandomValues() function which provides cryptographically secure random numbers. This ensures that every name has an exactly equal chance of being selected, making our tool perfect for fair raffles and classroom activities.

Can I use this on my mobile device?

Absolutely! Our random name picker is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. You can add names, spin the wheel, and manage entries easily on smartphones and tablets with touch-friendly controls.

Do you store my data or require registration?

No registration required! All your data is stored locally in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Your names and settings stay private on your device.

Can I share my wheel with others?

Yes! You can generate a shareable URL or QR code for your wheel. Others can view and spin your wheel, or create their own copy with the same names. Perfect for remote classrooms or distributed events.

How many names can I add to the wheel?

There's no hard limit! You can add as many names as you need. The wheel automatically adjusts its segments to accommodate all entries while keeping text readable.
