Random Picker

Pick one item from a list fairly.

What is this tool?

The Random Picker selects one item from a list, one per line, using your browser's secure random number generator so every item has a fair, equal chance.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your list into the input box, one item per line.
  2. Click "Run tool".
  3. See the randomly picked item in the result box.

Example

From a list of "Alice, Bob, Carla", running the tool might pick "Bob" — each name has an equal chance of being chosen.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Is the selection truly random? +

It uses your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, so results are unpredictable and fair.

Can the same item be picked twice in a row? +

Yes, each run is independent, so the same item can be picked again on a later run.

Does it work with a very short list? +

Yes, even a list of two items works — each one still has an equal chance.
