Wheel Picker
Wheel Picker is a free browser-based spin-the-wheel tool for randomly selecting names, numbers, teams, winners, and other options. It runs entirely in the browser, requires no sign-up, and states that entries, images, and results are never uploaded. The interface supports typing or pasting one entry per line, including lists from spreadsheets or CSV files, and provides 39 ready-made wheels such as name picker, number wheel, team generator, yes/no, raffle draw, and decision prompts. Features include weighted entries, live percentage display, three spin behaviors (Keep, Eliminate, Tally), photo-based entries resized in the browser, and customization with color palettes, surfaces, pointers, spin sounds, and celebrations. Users can share a wheel by link, display a QR code, or embed the wheel spinner in another page. The tool is translated into 18 languages. Common uses include classroom name calling, live giveaway draws, team formation, raffles, decision making, party games, food choices, chore assignment, and other everyday random selections. The homepage presents a three-step workflow: type or paste a list, set odds and appearance, then spin and act on the result.
