Is the random picker truly random?

Yes, the tool uses the browser's crypto.getRandomValues API to generate random selections, which provides cryptographically strong randomness. This ensures that each item has an equal probability of being selected, and the results cannot be predicted or manipulated.

Can I pick more than one item at a time?

Yes, you can set the number of items to pick from your list. The tool will select that many items at random. If you disable duplicates, each selected item will be unique. If you enable duplicates, the same item could be picked multiple times.

What happens if I want to pick more items than are in my list?

If duplicates are disabled, you cannot pick more items than are in your list — the tool will show an error. If duplicates are allowed, you can pick any number of items regardless of the list size, since items can be selected more than once.

Can I use this for a raffle or giveaway?

Yes, the random picker is ideal for raffles and giveaways. Enter all participant names, set the number of winners to pick, disable duplicates to ensure each person wins only once, and click pick. The selection is fair and unbiased.

What is the difference between a random picker and a random number generator?

A random picker selects items from a list you provide (names, options, etc.), while a random number generator produces numbers within a numeric range. Use the picker when you have named items to choose from, and the RNG when you need random numbers.

Can I see previous picks?

Each time you click pick, the current results replace the previous ones. If you need to track multiple rounds of picks, we recommend copying the results after each round and pasting them into a document or spreadsheet for your records.
