SpinTheNamePicker is a free online tool that helps you randomly select names or options using an interactive spinning wheel. It's perfect for teachers, event organizers, or anyone who needs to make random selections in a fun and engaging way.

Yes! SpinTheNamePicker is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium features that require payment. The site is supported by non-intrusive advertisements.

No, you don't need to create an account or sign up to use SpinTheNamePicker. Simply visit the website and start using it right away. However, if you want to save your custom wheels for future use, you'll need to use your browser's bookmarking feature or save the URL.

SpinTheNamePicker is used by a wide variety of people, including:

• Teachers for classroom activities and student selection
• Event organizers for raffles and giveaways
• Team leaders for assigning tasks or creating groups
• Families for making decisions or playing games
• Anyone who needs to make a random selection in a fun way

Adding names to the wheel is simple:

1. Find the text area labeled "Enter Names (one per line)"
2. Type each name on a separate line
3. Alternatively, you can copy and paste a list of names from another source

The wheel will automatically update to include all the names you've entered.

While there's no strict limit, the wheel works best with between 2 and 50 names. With too many names, the segments become very small and difficult to read. If you need to select from a very large list, consider using our Team Generator tool to first divide the names into smaller groups.

SpinTheNamePicker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator built into your browser's JavaScript engine. This ensures that each spin is truly random and unpredictable, giving each name an equal chance of being selected.

Yes, you can manually remove names from the text area after they've been selected. This is useful for situations where you want to ensure each name is only selected once. Simply delete the selected name from the text area and continue spinning with the remaining names.

Currently, you can save your wheel configuration by bookmarking the page or copying the URL after you've added your names. We're working on adding a more robust saving feature in a future update.

Yes, you can customize the colors of the wheel segments. Look for the customization options below the wheel. You can choose from preset color schemes or create your own custom colors for each segment.

Yes, you can adjust the spin time in the customization settings. You can choose a shorter spin for quick selections or a longer spin to build anticipation.

Currently, SpinTheNamePicker supports text-only entries. Adding image support is on our roadmap for future updates.

Yes, SpinTheNamePicker is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The interface automatically adjusts to fit your screen size for the best experience on any device.

SpinTheNamePicker works with all modern browsers, including:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera

We recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version for the best experience.

Yes, you need an internet connection to initially load the SpinTheNamePicker website. However, once the page is loaded, the wheel functionality will continue to work even if your internet connection is temporarily interrupted.

Yes, your privacy is important to us. The names you enter are processed entirely in your browser and are not sent to our servers. We do not track or store the content you add to the wheel. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

The Team Generator is a specialized tool that helps you divide a list of names into balanced teams. It's perfect for classroom activities, sports events, or any situation where you need to create random groups. You can specify the number of teams you want to create, and the tool will distribute the names as evenly as possible.

The Decision Maker is specifically designed to help you choose between options rather than selecting names. While the core spinning wheel functionality is similar, the Decision Maker includes features tailored for decision-making scenarios, such as decision history tracking and specialized templates for common decisions (like where to eat or what movie to watch).

Yes! We're constantly working to improve SpinTheNamePicker and add new features. Some tools we're considering for future updates include:

• Tournament bracket generator
• Seating chart randomizer
• Advanced customization options
• Wheel templates for specific use cases
