Use our free spin the wheel tool to pick a random name, prize, or task in seconds. It is free, needs no signup, and runs entirely in your browser, so you can use it for a classroom draw, a team giveaway, or a quick decision at home without creating an account or installing anything. Just keep the names you want on the wheel, press Spin, and let chance decide.
Spin the Wheel
Enter names, spin the wheel, and pick a random winner.
Tip: edit the list any time – the wheel updates as you type.
How to Use the Spin the Wheel Tool
- Add your names. Type or paste one name per line in the box under the wheel. The wheel updates as you type, so you can check the list before you spin.
- Check the wheel. Each name gets its own coloured segment. If a name is missing or spelt wrong, fix it in the list first, because the wheel only picks from the names it shows.
- Press Spin the Wheel. The wheel turns with a smooth slowing motion and stops on one segment. The winner appears in the result box below the wheel.
- Remove the winner if you need to. Press Remove winner to take that name off the list, then spin again to pick the next person without repeating the same winner.
- Spin again as often as you like. Every spin is a fresh random pick, so you can run as many rounds as your draw, game, or classroom activity needs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Completely free. There is no charge, no premium version, and no limit on how many times you can spin the wheel.
- No signup. You do not need an account, an email address, or a download. Open the page and start spinning straight away.
- Private by design. The wheel runs in your browser on your own device, so the names you enter are never uploaded to a server or stored.
- Fair random picks. Each spin uses a random result and a smooth easing animation, so the winner is not decided in advance or in a fixed order.
- Easy winner removal. The Remove winner button keeps draws fair when you need one different winner after another, such as in a raffle.
- Works on phones and desktops. The wheel and the name list resize for small screens, so you can run a draw from a phone in class or at an event.
Worked Examples
Example 1 – A classroom question draw. A teacher enters the names of six students, spins the wheel, and asks the winner the next question. After the answer, she presses Remove winner and spins again, so a different student is picked next and everyone gets a fair turn.
Example 2 – A team giveaway. A small business puts the names of everyone who entered a prize draw on the wheel. One spin picks the prize winner in front of the team, and the result is clear for all to see. If there are two prizes, the organiser removes the first winner and spins again for the second prize.
Example 3 – A quick decision at home. A family cannot agree on a film, so they put four film titles on the wheel instead of names and spin once. The wheel lands on one title, the argument ends in seconds, and the same method works for choosing a restaurant, a game, or who cooks dinner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spin the wheel tool really free?
Yes. The tool is free to use with no signup, no download, and no limit on spins. You can run as many draws as you like, for a classroom, a giveaway, or a family decision.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no account and no email address required. Open the page, enter your names, and spin. Your list stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere.
How many names can I put on the wheel?
You need at least two names to spin. There is no strict limit, but a short list of up to about twenty names is easiest to read on the wheel. For very long lists, split the draw into smaller rounds.
Is the winner really random?
Yes. Each spin uses a random result, and the wheel animation slows down before it stops, so the winning segment is not fixed in advance. Every name on the wheel has a chance on every spin.
Can I spin for prizes or choices, not just names?
Yes. Put anything on the wheel, one item per line, such as prizes, tasks, film titles, or restaurant names. The wheel treats every line the same way and picks one at random.
