What is a random image picker?
A random image picker chooses one picture from a set you provide. Add your own photos, press the button, and it selects one fairly. It is also called a random photo picker, random picture picker or image randomizer.
Other tools ask you to upload pictures to their server. This picker reads your images inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded. That makes it fast and suitable for personal photos.
Pick a random photo from your camera roll or gallery
There is no app to install. It works in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer:
- iPhone and iPad: tap the box, choose Photo Library, and select your photos.
- Android: tap the box, open your gallery or files, and select your photos.
- Windows or Mac: open your folder, select the pictures with Ctrl + A (Cmd + A on Mac), and drag them onto the page.
- Screenshots: copy an image and paste it straight into the page.
Choose a winner from photo entries
For a photo contest or giveaway, add one image per entrant and press Pick. Switch on Don't repeat images to draw a first, second and third place in order. The Picked so far list keeps track of the results in the order they were drawn.
To be open with your audience, share your screen or record the draw. The winner is chosen by your browser's secure random generator, and every image has the same chance.
Can't decide? Let a picture picker choose
- Outfits: photograph your options and let the picker choose what to wear, or pick a look for a dress-up game.
- Social media: choose which holiday photo to post or a new profile picture.
- Art practice: add your reference folder and let it decide what you draw today.
- Classroom: add flashcards or student photos for a fair, surprise pick.
- Meals and trips: add pictures of restaurants or places and let chance settle it.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The images are read by your browser only. Nothing is sent to a server, and they disappear when you close or refresh the page.
How is the image chosen?
With your browser's secure random generator, so every image has an equal chance. The winner is chosen first, and the shuffle animation is only for show.
How do I avoid repeats?
Switch on "Don't repeat images". Picked images are marked and left out until you press "Reset picks".
How many images can I add?
Up to 500 images at once. You can drag them in, choose them from your device or paste them from the clipboard.
Which file types work?
Any image your browser can show, such as JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF. Some formats, like HEIC from iPhones, may not display in every browser. They stay in the draw and appear by file name.
Can I use it for a giveaway?
Yes. Add one image per entry, such as a screenshot of each entrant, then press Pick. Turn on no repeats to draw several winners in turn.
Can I pick a random photo from my iPhone?
Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the box and select pictures from your photo library. No app is needed.
Can I select a whole folder?
Open the folder, select all the images and drag them in, or choose them all in the file window. You can add up to 500 images.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The picker runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Does it work with a spinning wheel?
Your images are shuffled with a quick highlight animation instead of a wheel, which keeps every picture large enough to see, even with hundreds of them.
Want random photos, or a wheel for names?
Use the Random Image Generator for photos in any size and category, or the Random Name Picker to spin a wheel of names.
