Random Wheel Spinner

What is the Zortyx online random wheel?

The Zortyx random wheel is a free online tool that lets you create a custom wheel of fortune with your own options. Enter names, prizes, tasks or any text you want, click Spin, and the wheel will pick a random option with full transparency. It's the fastest, most visual, and fairest way to make decisions when you don't want to choose yourself — from picking what to have for dinner to drawing a prize among your Instagram followers.

How it works, step by step

1. Add your options: type the items you want to include on the wheel into the text field (separated by commas or one per line). For example: pizza, sushi, burger, tacos.
2. Customize the wheel: each option becomes a colored slice on the wheel. You can add or remove items before spinning.
3. Click Spin: the wheel spins with realistic animation for a few seconds before stopping on a winning option.
4. Copy or share: the result is highlighted and you can copy it to clipboard or screenshot for WhatsApp or social media.

Popular use cases

Social media giveaways

Running a contest on Instagram, TikTok or Twitter? Copy the participants' names onto the wheel, record the spin on video and post it to your stories or stream. The visual transparency of the spin builds credibility: your followers see the winner being picked in real time.

Decisions with partner, family or friends

Which movie to watch tonight? Which restaurant to go to? Who takes out the trash? Instead of arguing, add the options and let the wheel decide. It's a fun and fair way to resolve small everyday disputes without anyone feeling pressured.

Classroom and education

Teachers use the wheel to randomly call on students to answer questions, assign presentation topics, draw turns or create participation dynamics in class. It's a quick and visual way to avoid favoritism.

Work and meetings

In team meetings, the wheel helps assign rotating tasks, choose who presents first, decide on a venue for the team lunch, or any other group decision where impartiality matters. Adding chance also breaks the seriousness and creates a fun atmosphere.

Games and fun activities

Challenges among friends, decisions in drinking games (responsibly), character selection in board games, trivia questions, video topic picks for YouTube... The possibilities are endless. Any situation requiring a choice from a list benefits from the wheel.

Why choose Zortyx over other online wheels?

• Real cryptography, not pseudo-randomness: most web tools use Math.random(), which is predictable and biased. Zortyx uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the same standard used by banks.
• No signup or installation: open the web and use it. No account, email or app download needed.
• 100% free: all features available without payment, premium version or artificial limits.
• Total privacy: the names and options you enter are never sent to any server. Everything runs in your browser.
• Multilingual: available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Catalan. Use it in your preferred language.
• Mobile-optimized: works perfectly on small screens. Ideal for recording spins from your phone for social media.

Tips for getting more out of the wheel

Balance the options: if you want all options to have equal probability, make sure each one appears only once. If you want an option to be more likely (e.g. that the winner is more likely from a certain group), repeat it several times.

Prepare the list in advance: have the names or options ready in a document or message before opening the wheel. This avoids transcription errors and saves time.

Record important draws on video: if the draw has consequences (prize, important decision), record the spin. The recording serves as visual proof the result was fair.

Combine with other Zortyx tools: for complex draws with many participants, use the Random Draw Generator first. To pick numbers in a range, try the Random Number Generator.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Zortyx uses the browser's cryptographic API (Web Crypto API), specifically the function crypto.getRandomValues(). This API is designed to produce unpredictable values and is the same one browsers use to generate SSL encryption keys. It's not pseudo-random like Math.random() — it's cryptographically random.

Do I have to pay anything?

No. Zortyx is completely free. We don't have a premium version or paid features. The service is maintained through discreet ads that don't interfere with using the tool.

Can I use the wheel without internet?

Once the page is loaded, the wheel can work offline because everything runs locally. However, you need an internet connection to load the page the first time.

Is there a history of past spins?

Results from spins in your current session remain visible on screen until you reload the page. To save them permanently, take a screenshot or copy them to a document.
