Random Name Picker
Paste your list, press one button, and let an animated wheel land on a winner. Free, no sign-up, and it works in your browser, on iOS, Android and Mac.
How it works
Paste a list, tap once, and PickCrew spins an animated wheel and lands on one name. The pick is random on every run — there is no weighting, no repeat bias, and nothing to configure. Import a CSV or XLSX file instead of pasting if you already keep names in a spreadsheet, and export the result as an image or a sheet when you need a record.
Who uses it
- Teachers — pick a student to answer, choose line leaders, or call out a group at random.
- Meetings — decide who presents first, who takes notes, or who gets the next action item.
- Giveaways — pick a winner on screen so everyone can see the draw happen.
- Home & friends — settle chores, choose a restaurant, or decide who drives.
Why not just use a spreadsheet?
A =RAND() cell does not show anything to the room, and “random.org” gives you a number nobody
remembers. PickCrew animates the draw, so the result is visible, shared and hard to argue with. It also runs
offline once loaded, and the same list works on your phone, tablet, laptop and Mac.
FAQ
Is the random name picker really free?
Yes. Picking, pairing and team splitting are free and unlimited, with no sign-up required. An optional membership unlocks extra animation themes, cloud saving and image/spreadsheet export.
Can I pick more than one name?
Yes — set the number of winners before you start and PickCrew reveals them one by one.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a connection, and you can add PickCrew to your home screen as an app.
Can I share the result?
Yes. Export it as an image, or create a read-only link that shows the result to anyone — no install needed.
