Questions
Are these tools free?
Yes. Every tool on DrawSage is free to use, with no sign-up and no display ads.
Do the pickers upload the names I paste?
No. The random name picker, volunteer picker, office raffle, White Elephant and Yankee Swap turn orders, and the team generator shuffle in your browser. Secret Santa and the online name draw are different: they save the group so everyone can join from one link and see only their own match.
Is the result really random?
The pickers and turn-order tools use a standard Fisher–Yates shuffle in your browser, so every order is equally likely. Start over draws a fresh order with no memory of the last one.
Which tool should I use for a gift exchange?
Use the Secret Santa generator when everyone buys for one person. Use White Elephant or Yankee Swap when people open and steal gifts in turn.
