About The Spinner Wheel

Welcome to the Spinner Wheel! This is a simple, fast, and highly customizable random generator tool designed to help you make decisions, pick names for giveaways, or add a fun element of chance to any event. Think of it as your personal prize wheel or decision roulette, built for the modern web.

Our Philosophy: Fast, Free, and Private

This tool was built with three core principles. First, **performance**. It runs entirely in your browser using modern, lightweight vanilla JavaScript, which means it's incredibly fast and works on any device without slowdowns. Second, **accessibility**. We believe powerful tools should be free for everyone, which is why this site is completely free to use with no hidden features. Third, and most importantly, **privacy**. All your wheel data is stored locally in your browser's localStorage, so your entries are private and persistent, even if you reload the page. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

How to Use This Tool

Using the Spinner Wheel is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to all its features to make you a power user.

1. Managing Entries

Add an Entry: Type any text into the "Add new entry..." input box and click the "Add" button or press the Enter key. Your new entry will immediately appear on the wheel and in the list below.

Remove an Entry: Simply click the ✖ button next to any entry in the list to remove it from the wheel instantly.

2. Spinning the Wheel

Click the big "Spin" button below the wheel, or for a more interactive experience, click directly on the "SPIN" hub in the center of the wheel itself.

3. The Winner Modal

Once the wheel stops, a winner is announced in a celebratory pop-up. From here, you have a few options:

• COUNT +1: Adds one to the winner's score, displayed as a badge in the entry list. This is useful for tracking results over multiple spins.
• HIDE CHOICE: Removes the winner from the wheel for subsequent spins. This is great for elimination-style draws where each entry can only win once.
• DONE: Closes the modal without changing the wheel or scores.

4. Advanced Tips & Tricks

Weighted Entries for Better Odds

To give an item a higher chance of winning, simply add its name to the list multiple times. Each instance acts as a separate slice on the wheel, increasing its probability of being selected. For example, to give "Entry A" double the chance of winning, add it to the list twice.

Saving Your Results for Proof

After a spin, click the "Save Results" button. This will generate a beautiful, shareable certificate as a JPG image, complete with the winner, all participants, and a timestamp. It's the perfect way to prove the fairness of a giveaway or raffle to your audience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is my data private?

Yes. 100% private. This tool operates entirely within your web browser. Your list of entries is saved in your browser's localStorage, which means it never leaves your computer. We do not see, collect, or store any of your data.

Can I share my wheel results?

Yes! After a spin, you can click "Save Results" to generate a beautiful certificate image (JPG) of the winner and all entries, which you can then download and share as proof of your drawing.

Why won't the wheel spin?

The "Spin" button is disabled if there are fewer than two entries. A decision-making wheel needs at least two options to choose from! Make sure you have added two or more entries to the list.

Is the spin truly random?

Absolutely. The spin's duration and final position are calculated using the browser's high-quality random number generator (Math.random()), ensuring a fair and unpredictable outcome every time.
