What is a Picker Wheel and Why Use Picker Wheel Pro?
A picker wheel, also known as a spinner wheel, random name picker, or decision wheel, is a fun and engaging tool used to make random selections from a list of options you provide. It mimics spinning a physical prize wheel, but with the convenience and customization of a digital tool.
Picker Wheel Pro takes this concept further, offering a powerful yet easy-to-use online spinner wheel packed with features. Whether you need a fair way to choose a winner, a fun method for making decisions, or an engaging classroom tool, Picker Wheel Pro is designed to be flexible and effective for making random choices quickly and easily.

custom wheelfor any scenario. Add text, colors, and even background images to options. - Weighted Entries: Need some outcomes to be more likely? Our
weighted wheelfeature lets you adjust the probability for each option (from 1 to 10) – perfect for nuanced decisions or tieredprize wheels! See below for how weights affect the calculation. - Engaging Experience: Customizable sounds for spinning and winning, plus visual confetti, make each spin exciting. Control the master volume easily.
- Results History: Keep track of previous spin results automatically, including timestamps and win counts. Ideal for tracking winners in
giveawaysor reviewing past decisions. - Easy Management: Import options from a CSV file for large lists, and export your current setup for backup or sharing. Manage options individually or use bulk actions like shuffle, sort, or remove all.
- Persistent Storage: We automatically save your options, results, and settings in your browser's local storage, so your wheel is ready when you return.

How is the Winner Calculated? (The Math Behind the Spin)
Picker Wheel Pro ensures a fair and statistically sound random selection based on your settings. Here's how it works:
- Equal Weights (Default): If all visible options have the same weight (e.g., weight 1), each option has an equal probability of being selected. The chance for any single option is simply
1 / (Number of Visible Options). The visual segments on the wheel will all be the same size. - Weighted Options: When you assign different weights, the probability changes. An option's chance of winning is directly proportional to its weight compared to the total weight of all visible options on the wheel. The formula is:
Probability(Option) = (Weight of the Option) / (Sum of Weights of ALL Visible Options)
For example, if you have Option A (Weight 3) and Option B (Weight 1), the total weight is 4. Option A has a 3/4 (75%) chance of winning, while Option B has a 1/4 (25%) chance. Visually, Option A's segment on the wheel will be three times larger than Option B's segment. - The Spin Algorithm: Behind the scenes, the tool calculates the proportional size each option should occupy on the wheel based on its calculated probability. It then uses a strong cryptographic random number generator to determine the final stopping position, ensuring the selection aligns precisely with the calculated odds over many spins. Hidden options are completely excluded from the wheel and the calculation.
