Random Wheel Picker - Spin the Wheel to Pick Randomly

1. What Is Random Wheel Picker?

Random Picker Wheel is a free, fun, and interactive tool that helps you make random choices quickly and fairly.

Simply enter your list of names, options, or items, then spin the wheel to let chance decide the winner or selection.

It’s perfect for situations where making a decision feels hard or you want to add some excitement to the process, such as choosing a random winner for a giveaway, picking a team member for a task, deciding what to eat, or running classroom or event activities.

The wheel uses a fair randomization algorithm to ensure every option has an equal chance of being selected, making it both entertaining and unbiased.

2. How to Use This Spinner

   • You can add as many items as you like, edit them anytime, or remove unwanted ones.

2. Advance options

   • elect advanced checkbox to go in advance mode.
   • Add each entry, or image into the input box.
   • You can change single slice color, and weight.
   • You can also delete, disable, or clone the entry.

3. Spin the Wheel

   • Once your list is ready, click the “Spin” button (or press Ctrl + Enter) to start.
   • The colorful wheel will spin, slow down, and randomly stop on one segment.

   • You can spin again, reset the wheel, or remove the selected item (depending on your settings).

5. Optional Features

   • Shuffle: Randomize the order of your inputs before spinning.
   • Sort inputs: Click the sort button to sort all the inputs.
   • Add images: Add images seperately or images with text in the wheel.

3. Adding Entries to Your Wheel

The first step is to populate your wheel with options. The “Entries” panel on the left is where you’ll do this.

Simple Mode

By default, you’ll see a simple text box. You can type or paste your list of entries here. Each new line counts as a new entry on the wheel. This is the fastest way to get started.

Advanced Mode

For more control, check the “Advanced” box.

This changes the entry panel to a detailed list, giving you powerful options for each item.

In Advanced Mode, you can:

• Add New Entries: Click the “Add Entry” button at the bottom to add a new, blank row.
  
• Reorder: Click and drag the dotted handle (⋮⋮) on the left of any entry to change its order in the list.
• Manage Each Entry: Each entry has its own set of tools on the right.
  
  • Weight (Number): This is a key feature. By default, every entry has a weight of ‘1’. If you change “John’s” weight to ‘3’, his slice on the wheel will be 3x larger, giving him a 3x higher chance of being picked.
  • Color (Palette Icon): Click the color palette icon to assign a specific, custom color to that entry’s slice.
  • Image (Image Icon): Click the image icon to upload a small picture that will appear on that entry’s slice.
  • Disable (Checkmark Icon): Click the checkmark to temporarily disable an entry. It will be greyed out and removed from the wheel without you having to delete it.
  • Delete (Trashcan Icon): Permanently deletes the entry from your list.
  • Duplicate (Copy Icon): Instantly creates a copy of that entry, including its name, weight, and color.

4. Customizing Your Wheel (Settings Menu)

You can change almost everything about your wheel’s look and behavior. Click the Settings icon (the gear) on the right-hand sidebar to open the settings menu.

This menu is organized into three tabs:

Spinning Tab

This tab controls the wheel’s behavior while it is spinning.

• Ticking Volume: Adjusts the “click-clack” sound the wheel makes as it spins.
• Spin time (seconds): Sets the exact duration of the spin, from a quick 1 second to a suspenseful 40 seconds.

After Spin Tab

This tab controls what happens after the wheel lands on a winner.

• Sound Volume: Sets the volume for the winning celebration sound.
• Launch Confetti: Check this box to have a fun confetti animation play when the winner is announced.
• Result title: You can change the default text “The winner is” to anything you like, such as “Today’s Task:” or “Who Pays:”.
• Display the “Remove” button: This is a very useful feature. If checked, the winner pop-up will have a “Remove” button, allowing you to take that option off the wheel for the next spin.

Appearance Tab

This tab controls the visual style of your wheel.

• Wheel Type:
  • Color wheel: This is the default. Each entry gets a slice with a solid color.
  • Background image wheel: This lets you use one single image as the background for the entire wheel.
• Theme & Colors: When in “Color wheel” mode, you can apply a pre-set Theme or Customize colors by checking or unchecking the specific colors you want to allow on your wheel.
  
• Wheel background image: When in “Background image wheel” mode, you can select from a list of images or click Upload Image to use your own file from your computer.
  

5. Spinning the Wheel and Getting the Result

Once you’re ready, click the large “SPIN” button in the center of the wheel.

The wheel will spin and land on a random choice. A pop-up box will announce the winner.

Based on your “After Spin” settings, this pop-up gives you two choices:

• Close: This closes the alert. The winning entry (“Germany” in this case) remains on the wheel and can be landed on again.
• Remove: This closes the alert and removes “Germany” from the list of entries, so it cannot be landed on again. This is perfect for drawings or eliminations.

6. Viewing Past Results

Want to see a history of your spins? Next to the “Entries” tab, click the “Results” tab. This will show a numbered list of all the winners from your current session, from most recent to oldest. You can also click “Clear all results” to wipe the history.

7. Managing & Sharing Your Wheel

The right-hand sidebar has several other tools to manage your wheel.

• Title & Description (Pencil Icon):

  Click the pencil icon next to the “Wheel Picker” title to name your wheel.

  

  A pop-up will appear where you can enter a custom Title and Description. This helps you save and identify your wheel later.

  
• Reset Wheel (Refresh Icon):

  This button will clear all your entries and reset all settings to the factory default. If you press it by accident, a small notification will appear giving you a few seconds to click “Undo”.

  
• View Mode (Eye Icon):

  This toggles Fullscreen or View mode, hiding the editing panels so you and your audience can focus just on the wheel itself.

• Share Wheel (Share Icon):

  This is how you save your wheel and share it with others.

  1. Click the Share icon. A pop-up will appear.
  2. Choose your Visibility:
     • Anyone with the link can spin: Others can use your wheel but cannot see or copy your settings and entry list.
     • Anyone with the link can spin and copy: This allows others to spin your wheel and save a copy of it to their own account.
  3. Click “Create share link”.
     
  4. The tool will generate a unique URL. You can copy this link and send it to anyone!
