Weights that change the odds, not just the drawing
Give an entry a weight of 3 and it takes three times the space and three times the chance. The wheel picker shows each entry's real percentage as you type, so the odds are never a guess.

How to Spin the Wheel in Three Steps
No account and no set-up screen. Type the list into the wheel picker, change anything you care about, then spin. About twenty seconds from a blank page to a result.
- 1
Type or paste your list
One entry per line. Paste a class register, a column from a spreadsheet or a CSV file, or start from a ready-made picker wheel.
- 2
Set the odds and the look
Give an entry more weight, pin a colour to it, add a photo, or leave everything alone. The wheel picker defaults are fine for most spins.
- 3
Spin and act on the result
Keep the winner on the wheel, take them off so the next spin picks someone new, or let the wheel spinner tally wins across several rounds.
A Wheel Spinner Built for Real Draws
Every feature here came from matching the spinners people already use, minus the parts that only exist to sell an upgrade.
Three ways to spin the wheel
Pick the behaviour that matches what you are drawing for.
- Keep: the winner stays and can win again.
- Eliminate: the winner leaves, so nobody is called twice.
- Tally: counts add up over several spins.
Nothing is uploaded
Entries, images and results stay in your browser. This wheel picker has no account, no database and no server that ever sees your list. Close the tab and your wheel is still here next time.
Photos as entries
Drop in faces, products or prizes. Images are resized in the browser and drawn straight onto the slice, so a prize picker wheel shows what is actually being won.
Share a wheel by link
The whole picker wheel is packed into the URL, so a share works instantly and keeps working. Send a link, show a QR code, or embed the wheel spinner in your own page.
Made to look like yours
Twenty-one colour palettes, eight surfaces, three pointers, six spin sounds and eight celebrations. Put a title above the wheel so a room knows what is being decided.
Random Name Picker for Class, Teams and Giveaways
The point of a spin the wheel draw in front of people is that everyone watches the same result land.
Calling on a class
Load the register into the name picker wheel once, switch on eliminate mode, and every pupil is asked before anyone is asked twice.
Drawing a giveaway winner
Paste the entrant list, spin the wheel on camera, and the audience sees the draw instead of taking your word for it.
Deciding what to eat
Six restaurants, one spin, no more polite deferring. Tally mode settles it over three rounds when the first result is unpopular.
Running a stand-up
Use the wheel picker for speaking order so the same person does not always go first, and nobody has to volunteer.
Playing party games
Truth or dare, forfeits, would you rather. A yes or no wheel settles the arguments in between, with confetti and sound to make the moment land.
Splitting the chores
Weight the jobs nobody wants so they come up less often, and let the picker wheel take the blame.
Wheel Picker vs Other Spin the Wheel Tools
Measured against the wheel spinners most people land on first, and against the oldest method there is.
| Feature | Wheel Picker | Typical wheel spinner | Names in a hat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works with no account | Yes | Limited | Yes |
| Weighted odds | Yes | Limited | No |
| Photo entries | Yes | Limited | No |
| Eliminate and tally modes | Yes | Limited | Limited |
| Share a wheel by link | Yes | Limited | No |
| Your list is never uploaded | Yes | No | Yes |
| No ads | Yes | No | Yes |
| 18 languages | Yes | Limited | No |
Limited means the feature exists but is capped, needs an account, or sits behind a paid plan on the spinners we checked in August 2026.
What Is a Wheel Picker?
A wheel picker is a random picker you can watch. You put a list of options onto a disc, spin the wheel, and whichever slice stops under the pointer is the answer. It does the same job as a coin, a dice or names in a hat, with one advantage that matters in front of an audience: everybody sees the same draw at the same moment.
Picker wheel, wheel spinner, wheel of names
These are all names for the same tool. A wheel of names is a picker wheel loaded with people; a number picker wheel or a letter wheel holds numbers or letters instead; a yes or no wheel holds two options and nothing else. The mechanism never changes, only what you type into it, which is why one wheel picker covers every one of those jobs.
Why a visible draw settles arguments
A random number generator prints an answer and asks people to trust the screen. A wheel picker that slows down in front of everyone does not have to ask. That is why teachers, streamers and anyone splitting a bill reach for a spinner rather than a generator: the process is the proof, not the result.
How this picker wheel draws a winner
The winner is drawn before the animation starts, using the browser's cryptographic random number generator across the weighted list of entries. The wheel is then aimed at that slice. This ordering matters: because the outcome is decided by the draw and not by where the animation happens to stop, the spin length, the easing curve and the number of slices drawn cannot bias the result. When a list is longer than the slices on screen, every entry still competes in the same draw and the winner is placed into a visible slice before the wheel starts turning.
