On the wheel (8)
How the draw works: The winner is chosen with your browser’s random number generator first; the animation then lands on that slice. Equal weights mean equal odds. This is great for classrooms and casual giveaways — not a cryptographically audited legal lottery.
No account, no setup, no upload. Open the page and the wheel is already loaded with names you can replace in seconds.
~30 seconds end to end
Type one name, bulk-paste a class list, or load a saved JSON file. Shuffle anytime.
Tap the hub, hit Spin, or press Space. Peg clicks speed up and slow down with the wheel, so the countdown feels real on a projector.
A popper sound and confetti announce the name in a full-screen card. Winners log with timestamps — remove them for unique picks, export CSV, or restore them later.
A wheel of names (also called a name wheel spinner or random name picker) puts every option on an equal — or intentionally weighted — slice of a circle. You spin once, and the pointer decides who is next. No hat, no “you always pick me,” no arguing over who went first last time.
This free wheel of names spinner runs entirely in your browser. Add students, entrants, teammates, or even lunch spots and film titles — anything you need to choose fairly in public.
Yes for practical classroom and giveaway use. The tool picks a winner with the browser’s random number generator, then animates the wheel to that slice. Watching the spin does not change who already won.
With equal weights, every name has the same chance. The wheel has no memory between spins unless you turn on remove-winner — then each person can win at most once until you restore the list.
Suspense is what makes a name wheel fun to watch. Every slice that passes the pointer fires a short peg click, and the clicks get softer and lower as the wheel loses speed — the same cue a physical prize wheel gives a room full of people.
When the wheel stops, two party poppers crack, a major arpeggio plays, and confetti bursts across the screen while the winning name scales up in a full-screen card. From there you can copy the name, remove it from the wheel, or spin again without closing anything.
Cold-call without always landing on the same three hands. Use remove-after-spin to work through the whole roster. The wheel scales to the width of your screen, so it stays readable on a projector or interactive whiteboard — press F11 for a clean full-screen view.
For daily standups, spin for speaking order and export the history so remote teammates see the same sequence.
Paste entrants, spin on camera, and keep a timestamped winner log. Export CSV for your records. For legally binding prize draws that need a published audit trail, use a dedicated raffle service — this wheel is built for transparent, live, equal-odds selection.
Enable weights when someone deserves a larger slice — bonus entries in a giveaway, or a playful “extra chance” for the birthday kid. The segment size matches the weight, and the picker uses the same weights when choosing the winner.
Class registers and customer lists never need to leave the device. Lists autosave in local storage on this browser, and you can download a JSON backup. No account and no upload to spin.
Bulk-paste with commas or new lines. Deduplicate before big draws. Use Space to spin when presenting. Restore eliminated names if you need a second round. Keep spin duration around 4–6 seconds for suspense without losing attention.
Fairness, sound, class lists, and privacy — everything people check before spinning in front of a room.

No. This is an independent free spinner from Let Start Design. It is not affiliated with wheelofnames.com. It does the same core job — enter names, spin, get a winner — with extra tools like weighted slices, a confetti winner celebration, and local export.
No. Open the page, add names, and spin. Optional list saving uses your browser’s local storage or a downloadable JSON file.
There is no hard cap, but labels get crowded past roughly 30–40 names. For large groups, spin in rounds or enable remove-winner so the wheel clears as people are picked.
Yes. Turn on Remove winner after spin. Each winner moves to the eliminated list until you restore them.
With default weights, every name has equal odds. If you enable custom weights, larger weights get larger slices and higher chance — shown clearly on the wheel.
Yes. The layout is fully responsive — the wheel resizes to the screen, the controls stack under it on phones, and everything stays tappable. On a projector the winner card fills the screen so the back row can read the name.
Yes. The list autosaves in this browser. You can also download JSON and import it later, plus export winner history as CSV.
Yes. Passing slices click like a real prize wheel while it spins, and the winner gets party-popper sounds, a rising fanfare, and a confetti burst with the name shown large. Both the sound and the winner popup can be turned off in Settings.
Browsers block audio until you interact with the page. Click the Spin button or the wheel hub once and sound is enabled for the rest of the session. Also check that Sound is on in the wheel controls and that your device is not muted.
No. Names stay on your device for spinning and local save. Nothing is sent to our servers to run the wheel.
