Quick Tool Overview

The Text Randomizer draws from a list rather than reordering it: one random item, a sample of any size, or the whole thing in random order. Entries can be weighted, draws can be with or without replacement, and every draw is kept on screen as a history.

About the Text Randomizer

This is the picker rather than the shuffler. Give it a list and it draws from it: one random item, a sample of any size, or the whole list in random order. It is the tool for choosing who goes next, picking a winner, selecting a random sample from a dataset or deciding what to have for dinner.

Draws can be with or without replacement, which is the difference between rolling a die repeatedly and dealing cards. Entries can be weighted by adding a multiplier, so an item can be given more chances than another — useful for a raffle where entries were bought in different quantities. The full draw history for the session is kept on screen, so a sequence of picks is auditable while you are working.

Key features of the Text Randomizer

Weighted entries

Write "name x3" and that entry gets three chances — the simple way to handle a raffle with different ticket counts.

With or without replacement

Deal from a shrinking pool, or draw repeatedly from the full list like rolling a die.

Draw history

Every pick stays on screen in order, so a sequence of draws is readable while you work.

Cryptographic randomness

The browser's secure random generator is used where available, falling back to the standard one.

Nothing is uploaded

The list and the history live only in the open tab and disappear when it closes.

How to use the Text Randomizer

  1. 1

    Paste your list

    One entry per line. Add a weight by writing "name x3" to give it three chances.

  2. 2

    Choose what to draw

    One item, a sample of a set size, or the entire list in random order.

  3. 3

    Set the replacement rule

    Without replacement each item can be drawn once; with replacement it can be drawn again.

  4. 4

    Draw and record

    Every draw is added to the history on screen, so you can see the whole sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Without replacement, an item that has been drawn is taken out of the pool, so a list of ten gives ten different results. With replacement it stays in and can be drawn again, like rolling a die repeatedly.
