1. What is a "spinner wheel" or "spinner on Google" and how does it work?+
A spinner wheel is an online tool that shows a colourful rotating wheel divided into segments. Each segment holds a name or number, and clicking spin causes the wheel to randomly land on one. "Spinner on Google" is an informal phrase people type into Google when they want a free spinner wheel online. Tools like aispinneronline.com appear in those results. Everything runs in your browser — no installation needed.
2. Is aispinneronline.com affiliated with Google?+
No. aispinneronline.com is a completely independent, free spinner wheel tool. It has no affiliation with, endorsement from, or connection to Google LLC in any way. "Google spinner," "spinner wheel," and "spinner on Google" are informal search terms people use to find online wheel tools — they do not refer to any official Google product. All Google trademarks belong to Google LLC.
3. What is the difference between a "spinner wheel" and a "wheel spinner"?+
They mean the same thing. "Spinner wheel," "wheel spinner," "spinning wheel," and "spin wheel" are all phrases people use to describe the same tool: an online wheel that spins randomly and lands on a winner. At aispinneronline.com we use spinner wheel as the main term because it matches what most people search for, but the tool works identically regardless of what you call it.
4. Is the spinner wheel completely free?+
Yes, 100% free. There are no paid tiers, no premium features, no daily spin limits, and no account required. aispinneronline.com is free to use as many times as you like, forever.
5. How do I add names to the wheel?+
Two ways: (1) Type a name in the input field and press Enter or click the + button — it appears on the wheel immediately. (2) Use Bulk Add: paste a full list with one name per line, then click "Add All Names." You can also load a preset (Classroom, Team, or Party) as a starting point and customise it from there.
6. Can I edit a name after adding it?+
Yes. Click the pencil ✏️ icon next to any name. It becomes an editable input field. Make your change, then press Enter or click the ✓ button to save. The wheel updates instantly. If you change your mind, press Escape or click ✕ to cancel without saving.
7. Why does the wheel start empty?+
The spinner wheel starts empty so you can immediately add the exact names or numbers you need — without having to delete a pre-filled list first. Just type your first name and press Enter, or paste a bulk list. The wheel fills up in real time as you add items.
8. Is the result truly random and fair?+
Yes. Every spin uses a fresh random number from the browser's Math.random() function to select the winning segment. The result cannot be predicted or rigged. Every segment has an equal probability of winning. The spin animation has a random duration and number of rotations to make it feel natural and unbiased.
9. What does "Remove winner from wheel" do?+
When this toggle is on, the winning name is automatically removed from the wheel after each spin. This ensures each person can only win once per session — perfect for raffles, giveaways, and classroom activities. Turn it off if you want the same names available every spin.
10. How many names can I add to the wheel?+
There is no hard limit. The spinner wheel displays up to around 100 items clearly, with text that adjusts in size as you add more. For very large lists (200+) the segments become small but the spinner wheel still selects a correct random winner. For the best visual experience we recommend splitting very large groups into rounds.
11. Can I download the spin as a video?+
Yes! Click "Record & Download Video," then click Spin. The tool records the canvas animation using the MediaRecorder API directly in your browser. After the spin, a .webm video file automatically downloads to your device. The video includes the full animation and an aispinneronline.com watermark. No data is uploaded — it's all local.
12. What video format does the recorder output?+
The video is saved as a .webm file (using VP8 or VP9 codec depending on your browser). WebM plays in all modern browsers and in VLC. If you need an MP4, convert the file using free tools like VLC, HandBrake, or any online WebM-to-MP4 converter. The file name includes the date and the aispinneronline.com branding.
13. How does the Numbers Wheel work?+
Switch to the Numbers Wheel tab to use the spinner wheel as a number picker. Set a minimum and maximum — the wheel fills with every number in that range. Use the quick presets (Dice 1–6, 1–10, 1–20, 1–50, 1–100) or enter custom numbers. Enable "No repeat" so each number is only drawn once. The spinner wheel updates in real time as you change the range.
14. What is "No Repeat" mode for the Numbers Wheel?+
With No Repeat on, any number already drawn in this session is excluded from future spins. Ideal for lottery draws, bingo, or quiz games where each answer should only appear once. When all numbers have been drawn, the pool resets automatically for a fresh round.
15. Can I use the spinner as a digital dice?+
Yes. Go to the Numbers Wheel tab and click the "Dice (1–6)" preset. The wheel shows numbers 1–6 and every spin gives you a random dice roll with a satisfying animation. Great for board games, online multiplayer games, or classroom activities when no physical dice are available.
16. Do I need to create an account?+
No account is needed — ever. aispinneronline.com requires no registration, no email address, and no personal data. Open the site, add your items, and start spinning immediately. Your list is stored only in the browser tab and is never sent to any server.
17. Are my names or numbers stored or shared?+
No. All processing happens entirely within your browser. Your names and numbers are never uploaded, saved to a server, or shared with anyone. When you close the tab, the list is gone. To save your list, copy it to a text file and paste it back using Bulk Add next time.
18. How do I use the spinner for a classroom?+
Open the spinner on a projector or classroom display. Use Bulk Add to paste your class list (one name per line). Enable "Remove winner" so every student gets a turn. Click Spin to randomly pick a student to answer, present, or lead an activity. The confetti and sound make it a fun experience students enjoy.
19. How do I use it for a giveaway or raffle?+
Add all participant names or entry numbers, enable "Remove winner" for multiple prizes, then spin live during your stream or event. Use the video recorder to capture the winning spin as transparent proof of a fair draw. Share the video as evidence — it includes the aispinneronline.com watermark for authenticity.
20. Does the spinner work on phones and tablets?+
Yes, fully. aispinneronline.com is responsive and tested on iOS and Android. The wheel, buttons, and panels all adapt to small screens. Tap the wheel, tap the centre button, or use the large Spin button. The video recorder also works on most modern mobile browsers that support the MediaRecorder API.
21. Can I use custom numbers that aren't in a continuous range?+
Yes. In the Numbers Wheel tab, use the "Custom Numbers" panel to add any specific values you want — for example 5, 10, 25, 100 for a prize-value wheel, or 7, 14, 21, 28 for a weekly schedule picker. Add each number individually, then click "Use these numbers" to apply them to the wheel.
22. Can I use the spinner wheel for a live event or stream?+
Absolutely. The spinner wheel is a popular tool for live streamers, event hosts, and presenters. Open it on a shared screen or projector, add your participants, and spin in front of your audience. The animated spin, confetti, and winner popup are all designed to look great on screen. Use the video recorder to save and share the spin afterwards as proof of a fair result.
