Random selection means each option has an equal chance of being chosen. This principle underpins fair games, lucky draws, and unbiased sampling. Using a manual method, like shuffling notes, often introduces subtle bias and delays results. Computers generate uniformly distributed numbers and remove human interference. Digital tools therefore improve transparency and speed during classroom activities and corporate giveaways.
This Random Picker lets you paste or upload a list, set how many selections you need, and produce unbiased results instantly. The interface cleans duplicates, ignores blanks, and copies winners to the clipboard. Because everything runs client-side, you avoid privacy concerns and maintain fairness. Teachers, streamers, and event hosts appreciate the simple workflow during live sessions.
You only need to drag a .txt or .csv file onto the box and press Pick. The tool highlights winners with confetti animation, records them in history, and offers quick share links. Because results can be repeated or cleared, you reuse the same list across multiple rounds without manual resets.
