Random Picker help

Random Picker works on a list you paste, one item per line. It can shuffle the whole list, draw a set number of items, or deal the list into teams.

Steps

  1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. Choose an operation and its settings.
  3. Add a seed if you want a result you can reproduce or verify.

Common questions

How does the seed work?

The same seed and settings always produce the same result, so you can share the seed to let others check a draw was fair.

What is draw with replacement?

Each pick is independent, so the same item can come up more than once. Without replacement, picks are distinct.

Is the no-seed randomness good enough for a real draw?

It uses the browser's cryptographic random source, which is suitable for casual prize draws and similar.

Does anything leave my browser?

No. The tool runs entirely on this page.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you enter or drop is uploaded.
