How to create a CSV file for Raffle Picker

A simple CSV file makes raffle imports much faster, especially when you have a long list from a spreadsheet, store export, or giveaway signup form.

What a CSV file is

CSV stands for comma-separated values. It is a plain text file where each line is one row, and each comma separates columns.

Name,Email
Jane Doe,[email protected]
John Smith,[email protected]

Option 1: Google Sheets

Paste your entries into one column, give the column a simple header like Name, then download the sheet as a CSV file.

Option 2: Excel

Put your names in the first column, add an optional header, then use Save As and choose the CSV format.

Option 3: Plain text editor

You can also make a simple file manually. Add one line per person, or include multiple columns if you need them.

Name
Entry 001
Entry 002
Entry 003

Best format for SpinRandomTool

The easiest format is one entry per row in the first column. The Raffle Picker reads the first useful value from each row, so you do not need a complicated spreadsheet.

Before you upload

• Remove blank rows
• Check for duplicate entries
• Use one clean column for names if possible
• Keep file names simple
