Free Random Spinner Wheel — Make Decisions the Fun Way

What Is a Spinner Wheel?

A spinner wheel (also called a "wheel of fortune," "random picker wheel," or "name picker") is a circular tool divided into segments, each representing an option. You spin it, and where it stops is the answer. It's the digital version of spinning a bottle or drawing names from a hat — but more visual, more fun, and completely fair.

How to Use ToolKnit's Spinner

Step 1: Add Your Options

Open the Random Spinner Wheel and type in your options. You can add up to 15 items. Each gets its own colorful segment on the wheel.

Step 2: Generate the Wheel

Click "Generate Wheel" and watch your custom wheel appear. The segments are color-coded with a beautiful gradient design so each option is easy to see.

Step 3: Spin!

Hit the SPIN button. The wheel spins with a smooth animation, gradually slowing down until it lands on a random option. The result pops up so everyone can see.

Step 4: Spin Again or Edit

Not happy? Spin again. Need to change the options? Edit the list and regenerate. It's instant and unlimited.
