How This Tool Works

Paste one participant per line, choose how many winners to draw, and optionally remove duplicate entries before the draw. Winners are selected with a Fisher-Yates shuffle powered by the browser's cryptographically secure random generator, so every participant has an exactly equal chance. Names are processed entirely on your device and never uploaded.

Giveaway Winner Picker FAQ

Is the drawing really random and fair?

Yes. The tool uses the Web Crypto API's secure random generator with a Fisher-Yates shuffle and rejection sampling, giving every entry an exactly equal probability of being picked.

Can I pick multiple winners at once?

Yes. Set the number of winners before drawing. Each participant can only win once per draw, and you can optionally remove picked winners from the pool for follow-up draws.

How do I remove duplicates from my list?

Keep the "Remove duplicate entries" checkbox enabled. Entries that appear multiple times are counted once, keeping their first position, so nobody gets an unfair extra chance.

Do you store my participant list?

No. The list is parsed and drawn entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to, or stored on, any server.

Can I use this for YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram giveaways?

Yes. Copy comments or usernames from your giveaway post, paste them here (one per line), enable dedupe, and draw. It works for any contest where you can collect a list of participant names.

How many participants can the giveaway picker handle?

The drawing runs locally in your browser, so lists with thousands of entries draw in seconds — even 50,000 participants work smoothly. Keep one participant per line when pasting so every entry is parsed correctly before the draw starts.

Can I paste entries from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Select the name column, copy it, and paste it directly into the entry box — each row becomes one entry automatically. Blank rows are skipped, and running the duplicate remover afterward cleans up anyone who entered the giveaway twice.

Is this giveaway winner picker free to use?

Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no limits on how many lists you create, and no caps on winner draws. Paste your participants and run as many drawings as you need — everything works right in your browser without an account.
