What this does

So you have got a block of text, a list, a stack of lines, and you want one of them picked at random. Paste it in, tap Pick Random, and it pulls out a single line. It treats every line as a candidate, so whatever you paste, you get one line back, fair and square.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text into the box. Each line counts as one entry.
  2. Tap Pick Random.
  3. Read the line it pulls out. Tap again for another, or Reset to clear the box.

Since it works line by line, a list you already have copied somewhere will drop straight in.

How it works

The tool splits whatever you paste into separate lines, then uses your browser's random generator, Math.random, to choose one with an equal chance. There is no memory between draws, so each pick is independent. It all happens on your device, and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

Honest footnote, Math.random is pseudo random and not for security, but for a fair draw it is spot on.

What people paste into it

This one shines when you already have a list. People use it to run a quick giveaway by pasting all the entries and drawing a winner, to pull a random quote from a collection, to pick a random task off a to do list, to choose a random song or restaurant from a saved list, or to grab a random line out of a chunk of data. Anywhere you have lines and need one of them at random, this does it.

Questions people ask

What counts as a line?

Anything on its own row of text. The tool splits your input at each line break, so every line is one possible pick. Skip blank lines, since an empty line counts too.

Can I use it for a giveaway or raffle?

Yes. Paste every entry on its own line and tap Pick Random to draw a winner. Each entry has an equal chance.

Can it pick the same line twice?

Each draw is independent, so the same line can come up again. It does not cross out lines as it goes.

Is my pasted text stored?

No. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you paste leaves your device.
