Frequently Asked Questions
How does the List Randomizer work?
Shuffling uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm: it iterates backward through the array, swapping each element with a randomly chosen earlier element via Math.random(). For "pick winners" mode, it shuffles the full list and takes the first N items, guaranteeing no repeats. Items are parsed by splitting the input on newlines and trimming whitespace.
How do I enter my list of names or items?
Type or paste items one per line in the text area. You can also paste a comma-separated list and the tool will split it automatically.
Can I pick multiple random winners?
Yes. Set how many items to pick and the tool selects that many randomly from your list without repeats. Perfect for raffles where you need first, second, and third place.
Is the selection truly random and fair?
Yes. The tool uses a cryptographically secure random shuffle algorithm (Fisher-Yates), giving every item an equal chance of being selected.
