Quick answer

What is the Card Deck Picker?

Use a digital deck whenever a game needs a random card draw. Choose a standard 52-card deck, include jokers, or define up to 500 custom cards with optional icons. Draw several cards at once, keep a discard pile, and reshuffle it when the deck runs out.

How to Use the Card Deck Picker

  1. Choose Standard deck or Custom deck and configure the cards.
  2. Set how many cards each draw should reveal and whether cards return to the deck.
  3. Tap Draw to reveal the next card or hand.
  4. Copy the visible draw or reshuffle the discard pile when you want to recycle it.
  5. Save a local preset or copy a share link for the same deck setup.

What You Can Use It For

  • Playing card draws
  • Custom board-game decks
  • RPG encounter or loot tables
  • Secret role and prompt cards
  • Classroom random selection

Tips for Using the Card Deck Picker

  • Use replacement for repeated independent draws and no replacement for a finite deck.
  • Save recurring custom decks as local presets before the game begins.
  • Copy the visible draw when everyone needs a text record of the revealed cards; share links contain setup only, not local draw history.

Standard and custom decks

The standard option includes the familiar four suits and ranks, with optional jokers. Custom mode accepts one card per line or comma-separated labels, so it can represent prompts, tasks, roles, rewards, or any other finite set.

Draw without losing control

Drawn cards remain visible, while non-replacement draws move through a discard pile. Reset clears the current draw without changing the deck definition, and local presets make recurring game-night decks quick to restore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create a custom deck?

Yes. Choose Custom deck and enter one card per line or comma-separated labels. You can add an optional icon after a vertical bar, such as Bonus | ★.

What happens to cards after I draw them?

Without replacement, drawn cards move into a discard pile and will not appear again until you reshuffle the discard. With replacement returns cards to the available deck for repeated independent draws.

Can I save a deck setup?

Yes. Save up to the locally available presets in this browser, or copy a bounded setup link that includes the deck definition. The current draw, discard pile, and local history stay in this browser and are not placed in the URL.
