Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are PicklyTool tools free to use?

Yes. The current tools are free and do not require registration or an account.

Are names uploaded or saved?

No. Randomization happens in your browser, and the site does not send or save the names you enter.

How are results randomized?

The shared engine shuffles unique names and uses cryptographically secure browser randomness when it is available.

Can I run a tool again?

Yes. Generate again whenever you need a fresh result. Each run performs a new random shuffle or pick.
