A random number generator picks a number for you so you don’t have to guess or argue about it — for a raffle draw, a quiz, a school project, or just deciding who goes first. The box above does this, plus dice, coin flips, yes or no answers, and a lot more, right in your browser.
How to use a random number generator
- In the box above, choose “Number” and set your lowest and highest value, say 1 to 100.
- Tap generate. The tool picks one number from that range and shows it on screen.
- Tap again for a new number, or switch to dice, coin flip, or a name list without leaving the box above.
Why use a random picker
- Picking a lucky winner from a list of entries for a giveaway or raffle.
- Deciding who bats first, presents first, or goes first in any game or meeting.
- Using the team generator to split a class or office into fair groups without playing favourites.
- Settling small decisions — where to eat, which task to do first — with a coin flip or a yes or no answer.
What else the box above can do
Besides numbers, it works as a dice roller, a coin flip, and a yes or no picker, with spin the wheel built in too. It’s also a random name generator, a random word generator, and a random letter generator, plus a random group generator that splits people into teams and a way to pick a random date. Ready lists let you jump straight in with names, words, letters, colours, countries, animals, foods, topics, cards, and twenty more, without typing your own list.

Questions people ask
What is a random number generator?
It’s a tool that picks a number for you within a range you set. This one also does dice, coins, and name lists in the same box.
How does a random name generator work?
Type or paste your list of names into the box above and it picks one at random each time you tap generate. You can also start from a ready-made list instead of typing your own.
Can I use this as a team generator for a class or office?
Yes. Enter everyone’s name and the number of teams you want, and it splits the group evenly and randomly.
Does the random number generator repeat results?
Each generate is independent, so the same result can repeat. Remove entries as you go if you need each one used only once.
Is this free to use, and do I need an account?
Yes, it’s free with no account and no watermark. Anything uploaded is deleted within an hour.
Can I get a yes or no answer or spin a wheel instead of a number?
Yes, the same box has a yes or no option and a spin the wheel option, along with dice and coin flip.
