By combining mathematically sound randomness with an intuitive interface, it eliminates bias and accelerates everything from giveaways to team tasks, letting you focus on outcomes instead of deliberation.
Upload a text or CSV file, paste content, or drag-and-drop directly onto the list area—Random Picker instantly removes duplicates, ignores blank rows, respects your unique-once rules, and caches settings locally. Copy results to the clipboard in a single click for smooth transfer into chats, documents, or codebases.
Designed for teachers, streamers, facilitators, and agile teams, Random Picker scales from classroom name rolls to large-scale raffle draws. A responsive Bootstrap layout ensures clarity on any device, while lightweight Vue 3 logic delivers fast, client-side calculations without server latency, meeting modern accessibility and privacy standards.
The application pairs Vue 3 Options API with Bootstrap 5 styling to deliver secure, responsive randomization.

No. All computations are performed client-side once the page is loaded.
The generator relies on JavaScript’s Math.random(), offering adequate uniformity for everyday use but not for cryptographic needs.
State persistence means your last picks remain until you close the tab or clear browser storage.
Performance remains smooth up to roughly 5,000 lines; beyond that, memory constraints may appear on low-end devices.
Ensure each item is on its own line; if commas remain, clean the file or switch to newline-delimited inputs before importing.
