One name or number per line.
Random picker for names, raffle tickets, or classroom numbers. Paste one item per line and draw one or many winners with crypto.getRandomValues — fairer than Math.random for casual giveaways.
CalculatorRuns entirely in your browser. No account, no upload.
Lists never leave your browser.
One name or number per line.
Choose how many winners; we sample without replacement.
Pick a random name or number from a list (crypto-secure) — You want the math in the browser with no spreadsheet upload. You need a quick number for a decision without signing into a finance app.
Random Picker keeps inputs in your tab. That matters when you are drafting numbers, text, or codes you would rather not paste into an upload-based SaaS form. Lists never leave your browser. If a step needs a one-time language pack or WASM library from a CDN, that is asset delivery — not your document contents being sent to SortMyFile for server-side processing. Close the tab when you are done if you want memory cleared.
Pick a random name or number from a list (crypto-secure). Before you run Random Picker, keep an original copy of every source file. Spot-check the download on the same device you will use for the portal or email. Large scans and phone photos are limited by browser RAM — if a run stalls, shrink the input first or split the job. SortMyFile browser tools stay free forever with no daily caps.
Pick a random name or number from a list (crypto-secure) — You want the math in the browser with no spreadsheet upload. You need a quick number for a decision without signing into a finance app. People reach for Random Picker when a form, HR desk, or messaging app rejects the current file shape, size, or format and installing desktop software is overkill. Pair it with password-generator, percentage-calculator, age-calculator when you need a short pipeline (for example compress then OCR, or HEIC to JPG then JPG to PDF). Results are not a substitute for official portal rules — always re-read the receiving site’s instructions before a deadline.
Random Picker trades convenience for honesty about browser limits. Extremely large files, corrupted inputs, or DRM-protected media can fail. Password-protected PDFs need a password you already know — SortMyFile does not crack encryption. Free use does not require an account; Pro (when checkout ships) is planned to raise limits and reduce ads. Until then, the free tier is enough for most one-off private jobs.
Common questions
We use the Web Crypto API, not Math.random.
Pick a random name or number from a list (crypto-secure). It runs in your browser on SortMyFile so you can finish the job without an upload converter.
No. Random Picker processes locally in the tab. We do not operate an upload API for this tool.
