What is the Spin the Wheel tool?

Spin the Wheel is a free online random picker: type in a list of names or options, press spin, and the wheel turns and slows to land on one random winner. It is the fastest way to settle «who goes first», «where do we eat» or «who wins the prize» without arguing — the spin does the deciding, and the result is genuinely random. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up and no download, on phone, tablet or desktop.

Add as many options as you like, remove any you change your mind about, and spin again as often as you want. Turn on «remove winner after each spin» to draw names one by one without repeats — perfect for raffles, giveaways, seating order or picking teams. Every option gets an equal slice of the wheel, so no choice is favoured; the winner is chosen by a fair random draw the moment you spin.

Teachers use it to pick a student, streamers to run giveaways, and friends to end the endless «you choose» loop. Because the whole thing happens on your device, nothing you type is uploaded or stored — close the tab and it is gone. When you just need a quick yes/no or a number instead of a named wheel, Carbide's random generator is the companion tool.

How to use the Spin the Wheel

  1. Type an option into the box and press «Add» (or Enter) — repeat for every name or choice you want on the wheel.
  2. Remove any option with the × on its chip, or keep adding up to two dozen slices.
  3. Press «Spin» — the wheel turns and slows to a stop, and the slice under the top pointer is the winner.
  4. Read the winner card, then copy or share it. Press «Spin» again for another draw.
  5. Turn on «remove winner after each spin» to draw names one at a time without repeats.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wheel spin actually random?

Yes. Every option gets an equal-sized slice and the winner is chosen by a fair random draw each time you spin — no option is weighted or favoured, and past spins do not affect the next one.

How many options can I add?

Up to two dozen slices, which stays readable on a phone. Add and remove options freely; the wheel re-draws instantly so every option always has an equal chance.

Can I draw names without repeats?

Yes — turn on «remove winner after each spin» and each winner is taken off the wheel after it is picked, so the next spin draws from the remaining names. It is ideal for raffles, giveaways and seating or team order.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. The wheel is completely free, needs no sign-up and nothing to install — it runs in your browser. The Carbide app adds it to your phone's home screen if you want one-tap access.

Are my options saved or uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything you type stays on your device and is never sent to a server. When you close or refresh the tab the list clears — nothing about your wheel is stored or shared.
