What Is a Spin Wheel?

A spin wheel (also called a decision wheel, random wheel, or wheel of fortune) is a circular tool divided into segments, each representing an option or choice. When you spin it, the wheel decelerates gradually and lands on a random segment — giving you an impartial, luck-based result in seconds.

Digital spin wheels like this one replicate the experience entirely in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. The randomness is generated by your device's secure random-number generator, so no two spins are alike. Because each segment occupies an equal arc, every option has exactly the same probability of winning — making it genuinely fair.

People use spin wheels to settle debates, pick random winners for competitions, assign chores, choose what to watch or eat, create classroom activities, and much more. They're a simple, visual, and fun alternative to writing names on paper or arguing about who goes first. For a simple 50/50 choice, our coin flip tool is even faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the spin wheel work?
Enter your options in the item list, then click the Spin button. The wheel accelerates and decelerates using a smooth easing animation, landing on a random segment. The result is displayed clearly below the wheel.
Is the spin wheel truly random?
Yes. The final resting angle is generated using the browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues API, which produces cryptographically secure random numbers. Every option has an equal probability of winning.
How many items can I add to the wheel?
You can add between 2 and 20 items. With fewer items each segment is larger and easier to read. With more items the segments get smaller, but the wheel still works perfectly.
Can I share my wheel with others?
Yes! Your current list of items is encoded into the page URL automatically. Copy the URL or click the Share URL button and send it to anyone — they'll see the exact same wheel with the same options.
Can I embed the spin wheel on my website?
Yes. Use the Embed Code section to copy an iframe snippet. Paste it into any webpage to add a fully functional spin wheel — no sign-up or API key required.
Does the spin wheel work on mobile?
Absolutely. The wheel scales responsively to fit any screen size, and the Spin button is large enough to tap comfortably on touch devices.
