Random name picker
Pick people from a list. Enter one participant per line and choose how many people to draw.
Rules and limits
Lists: up to 1,000 non-empty lines, 200 characters per line, 100,000 characters total.
Enter participants, one person per line.
How does the draw work?
Without repeats, each list entry can be selected once. Pick someone to answer a question or choose participants for an activity.
Empty lines are ignored, but repeated names count as separate entries. Add a surname or number to distinguish people. Your browser’s cryptographic generator performs the draw. The tool keeps no draw history or audit record; changing input clears the previous result. You can choose to keep a result in a link.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not sent to a server. When sharing, you choose which available settings or data to include after # in the link. The part after # is not sent to this site’s server. Link recipients can read its contents, and the link may remain in browser history or bookmarks.
