Object Randomizer
Randomize a shortlist of real objects for a fair starting choice. Paste up to 200 entries, remove duplicates automatically, and draw a fresh batch.
One object per line, or separate with commas. Duplicate entries count once. Up to 200 objects; 80 characters per entry.
5 / 200 unique entriesAdd your objects, then let chance choose.
Your list stays in this tab and is cleared when you leave or reload.Make your first round count
A randomizer is useful when you already have candidates but keep choosing the familiar one. Enter the objects you can actually draw, bring to class, or use in a game. Each unique entry has the same chance in a draw. Batches contain no repeats, but a later draw can include something selected earlier. Clear the input to start a different activity.
Try it in three steps
- 01Build a shortlist using objects available to you.
- 02Select a batch size and randomize the list.
- 03Use the first result as your starting constraint.

A few things you might be wondering.
Does every entry have the same chance?+
Yes. Each unique entry has an equal chance on each draw. Duplicate names are removed before selection.
Are selected objects removed from the list?+
No. A batch has no repeats, but the next draw starts from the same list. Edit the input if you want to remove an object.
Can I use it for a drawing challenge?+
Yes. List the objects on your desk, pick one, and keep that subject for a timed sketch. Use the drawing page if you want ideas from the full catalog.
