Frequently Asked Questions
Is the selection truly random?
Yes! Each name has an equal chance of being selected. The tool uses a cryptographically secure random algorithm to ensure fair selection.
Can I pick multiple names at once?
You can pick as many names as you want (up to the total number of names in your list). Each name can only be picked once per selection.
What's the best way to format my name list?
You can enter names separated by commas (Alice, Bob, Charlie) or put each name on its own line. Both formats work perfectly.
Can I use this for giveaways?
Absolutely! This tool is perfect for fairly selecting winners from a list of participants. Just paste in all the names and pick your winner(s).
