About Spinfetti

Spinfetti is a free, animated random picker wheel designed to make every random selection feel like an event. Combining "spin" and "confetti," the name captures what we're all about: turning ordinary decisions into celebrated moments.

Teachers pick students with it. Streamers run live giveaways. Families settle the eternal "where should we eat?" debate. Managers randomly assign tasks. Spinfetti makes all of it fair, fast, and surprisingly fun.

Our Mission

We built Spinfetti because every existing random picker tool we could find was either ugly, slow, loaded with pop-up ads, or required creating an account just to spin a wheel. We wanted something better: a tool that loads instantly, looks polished enough to share on a live stream or classroom projector, and treats randomness with the mathematical seriousness it deserves.

Random selection matters. When a teacher picks a student, the process should be transparent so every kid knows they had an equal chance. When a streamer draws a giveaway winner, their audience should trust the result. When a team lead splits people into groups, nobody should feel like the deck was stacked. Spinfetti exists to make these moments both fair and genuinely enjoyable.

Who Uses Spinfetti

Spinfetti serves a wide range of people who need quick, honest random selections in their daily lives:

• Teachers and educators use Spinfetti to call on students fairly, assign classroom duties, form project groups, and run review games. The high-contrast Classroom theme is designed specifically for projector screens and interactive whiteboards.
• Streamers and content creators on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick use the Neon theme to run live subscriber giveaways with dramatic, clip-worthy spin animations that keep viewers engaged.
• Event organizers use Spinfetti at trade shows, charity fundraisers, and company parties to run raffle drawings, prize wheels, and door prize giveaways on a tablet or projected display.
• Teams and managers use it for sprint retrospective group shuffles, icebreaker assignments, and fair task delegation during standups and planning meetings.
• Families and friend groups use it to settle everyday debates: what to eat for dinner, whose turn it is to do the dishes, which movie to watch, or where to go on the weekend.

Built for Fairness

Fairness isn't a feature we bolted on. It's the foundation of how Spinfetti works. Under the hood, every spin uses your device's built-in cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) through the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues). This is the same class of random number generator used by password managers, encryption software, and online lottery platforms.

Here's what that means in plain terms: the winner is selected mathematically before the wheel animation starts. The spinning animation is then calculated to land precisely on the pre-selected winning segment. This approach eliminates any possibility of the visual physics "drifting" to a different result, and it means the selection cannot be influenced by timing, click speed, or any other external factor. Every entry on the wheel has a provably equal probability of being chosen (unless you intentionally adjust weights in Settings).

Privacy First

Spinfetti is built on a simple privacy principle: your data never leaves your device. There are no user accounts, no login screens, no email collection, and no analytics tracking scripts watching what you type. The names, numbers, and entries you put on the wheel are processed entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript.

Saved wheels are stored in your browser's localStorage, a sandboxed storage area that only your browser can access. Nothing is uploaded to any server. You can clear all saved data at any time from the Settings panel, or just clear your browser data. Spinfetti also works fully offline after the initial page load, because it's built as a Progressive Web App. See our Privacy Policy for the full technical details.

Technology

Spinfetti is a modern Progressive Web App (PWA) built with Next.js. It works on any device with a web browser: phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, interactive whiteboards, even smart TVs. It loads in under a second on a typical connection, runs at 60fps during spin animations, and can be installed to your home screen for instant access without an app store.

The interface is fully translated into 15 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew, and Afrikaans. Right-to-left languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Yiddish are fully supported with mirrored layouts. Every tool page, button label, FAQ section, and meta description is localized with native fluency in mind, not just machine-translated.

No Account Required

Spinfetti is free to use without creating an account. There are no premium tiers, no feature gates, and no trial periods. Just open the site, paste your list, choose a theme, and spin. Every feature (including saved wheels, custom weights, sound effects, dark mode, and all five visual themes) is available to everyone, forever.
