Random Sample Picker — free online tool
Say you're running a giveaway and you need to pick a few winners from a long list of names. Doing it by hand feels unfair, and writing a formula in a spreadsheet is more trouble than it's worth. We added a free tool that does it — Random Sample Picker — right in your browser.
What it does
Paste any list or CSV data, tell it how many rows you want, and it draws a random sample for you in a moment. You can pick with or without replacement, so each row shows up once, or can be drawn again. It's handy for giveaways, picking a test group, or just grabbing a fair handful of rows from a big file.
Nothing leaves your device
The whole thing runs in your browser. Your list isn't uploaded anywhere, and nothing is saved on a server. When you close the tab, it's gone. Your names and data stay with you.
How to use it
- Open Random Sample Picker and paste your list or CSV into the box.
- Choose how many rows to draw, and whether to allow the same row twice.
- Copy the random sample and use it wherever you need it.
It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
