Pick Random Lines From a List

It splits your text into lines, ignores blank ones, then uses a partial Fisher-Yates shuffle to draw the number you asked for. That method gives every line an equal chance and never returns the same line twice in one pick.

No. Within a single pick each line is selected at most once, so asking for 3 lines gives you 3 different lines. If you request more lines than the list contains, the tool tells you instead of repeating entries.

Blank lines are skipped and leading or trailing spaces on each line are trimmed before picking, so stray newlines and whitespace never get selected as results.

Each pick is shuffled with a seeded generator, which is fine for everyday tasks like draws, sampling, and choosing what to do next. It is not cryptographically secure, so do not use it for security-sensitive randomness.

Yes, through the API. The endpoint accepts an optional seed, and the same text, count, and seed always return the same lines. The web tool uses a fresh random seed on every click so each pick is different.

Yes. The picking runs entirely in your browser and nothing you paste is uploaded to a server.
