About the Wheel Spinner

A free, powerful, and easy-to-use random wheel spinner for picking names, making decisions, and adding excitement to any selection process.

What is the Wheel Spinner?

The Wheel Spinner is a free online tool that helps you make random selections from a list of options. Simply add names, choices, or options to the wheel, click the spin button, and watch as the wheel randomly selects a winner. It's perfect for classrooms, contests, games, team assignments, or any situation where you need to make a fair, random choice.

Our wheel spinner was designed with simplicity and fairness in mind. The selection process is completely random, ensuring that every entry has an equal chance of being chosen. The colorful, animated wheel makes the selection process fun and engaging for everyone involved.

How Does It Work?

The wheel spinner uses a carefully designed random algorithm to ensure fair and unpredictable results. When you click the spin button, the wheel rotates with decreasing speed until it eventually stops at a random position. The name or option at the pointer when the wheel stops is selected as the winner.

Our wheel is designed to be as random as possible, simulating a physical spinning wheel. The momentum and deceleration are calculated to provide a natural spinning effect while ensuring complete randomness in the final selection.

  2. Customize (Optional) - Choose from different color palettes to personalize your wheel.
  3. Spin the Wheel - Click the spin button and watch as the wheel makes a random selection.
  4. Get Your Result - The winner is clearly displayed after the wheel stops spinning.
  5. Share (Optional) - Generate a unique link to share your wheel with others.
