1. What Is Date Picker Wheel?
Date Picker Wheel is a random date generator developed by Picker Wheel team. This date generator aims to help you to pick a random date by spinning the wheel. It is also known as a random day generator or a random date picker. Additionally, this random date generator supports dates of Gregorian calendar. You can choose your favourite date by using this Date Picker Wheel. Now let's take a closer look at how to use this date generator.
2. How to Use This as a Random Date Generator?

Select a “date format” that you wish to display throughout the spinning process.
Add a single date or a range of dates to the inputs list by clicking the "calendar" button, which is found under the inputs section of this random date generator.
Next, you can decide to include or exclude any of the days of week from your inputs list.
