A live random picker people can actually follow
PickerBoard is a free visual random picker where the list stays visible and the picker moves across the board. Paste names, topics, prizes, choices, students, raffle entries, chores, or meeting prompts, then start a pick and watch the board land on a random winner.
The list stays still
Traditional random pickers can get hard to follow when the whole display moves. PickerBoard keeps entries in place so classrooms, meetings, streams, and giveaways can see what is happening.
Built for quick picks
Open the page, paste one entry per line, choose a speed, and start the pick. No account, upload, spreadsheet setup, or complicated dashboard is required.
Great for repeated winners
Use the Winners list to keep track of results. Turn on remove-winner mode when you want each entry to be picked only once.
How PickerBoard works
PickerBoard reads the active entries from your list, randomly selects a winner, and uses the moving board animation to reveal that result. Board order changes how entries are displayed, but it does not change the odds of being picked.
1. Paste entries
Add names, topics, prizes, choices, students, or raffle entries. Spreadsheet rows and one-entry-per-line lists both work well.
2. Pick an order
Use Input order, A-Z order, or Remix. A-Z can help people find their names, while Remix gives the board a more shuffled look.
3. Start Pick
Choose Auto or a longer pick length. If you start by mistake, use Stop Pick to cancel the active animation before a winner is selected.
4. Track winners
The Winner area and Winners list stay on the right side so the result is easy to see during a screen share or live event.
Popular ways to use PickerBoard
Privacy and browser-only saving
PickerBoard can save your list, options, and winners in this browser so they are still here when you come back on the same device. Your entries are not uploaded to an account, database, or public board. If you clear browser data, use private browsing, or switch devices, saved lists may not be available.

Is PickerBoard random?
Yes. PickerBoard selects a winner randomly from the active entries, then uses the board animation to reveal the result.
Does A-Z or Remix change the odds?
No. Board order only changes where entries appear visually. Each active entry still has the same chance to be picked.
Can I remove winners after each pick?
Yes. Turn on “Remove winner after spin” if you want winners removed from future picks automatically.
Can I stop an accidental pick?
Yes. While the board is picking, the main button becomes Stop Pick so you can cancel the animation before a winner is chosen.
Are my entries uploaded?
No. PickerBoard runs in your browser. Saved lists use local browser storage on your device only.
How many entries can I add?
PickerBoard is optimized for up to 100 active entries per pick so the board remains readable and fast.
