Paste names and split them into fair, evenly sized groups in one click. Perfect for classrooms, teams, and workshops.
Paste your names, choose how many groups you want, and split them into fair, evenly sized teams in one click. The draw is random and nothing is stored.
A random group generator takes a full list of names and splits it into balanced teams in one click. You paste the roster, pick how many groups you want, and the tool divides everyone at once. It is the fast way to break a class, a workshop, or a five-a-side session into fair groups without writing names on slips of paper or counting off around the room.
This is different from a name picker, which pulls one name at a time. Here the goal is to place every person somewhere, with the sizes kept as even as the count allows. If twenty-three people go into four groups, you get sizes of six, six, six, and five instead of one lopsided group and three tiny ones. Nobody is left standing around waiting to be chosen, which is the part that usually stings.
Everything runs in your browser. The shuffle uses a cryptographically secure random generator, so the split is genuinely unpredictable and not the same order every time you reload. There is no account to make and nothing is sent to a server or saved anywhere. When a grouping feels off, reshuffle and you get a fresh arrangement in a second.
Split a class into project teams without the usual social sorting where the same friends always cluster. Paste the register, choose four or five groups, and everyone lands somewhere balanced. Reshuffle between units so students work with different classmates each time.
Divide whoever showed up into even sides for basketball, football, or a relay. Two groups gives you two teams of matching size; the odd person out is handled cleanly instead of arguing over who sits. It takes seconds, so you spend the time playing rather than picking.
Break a room of attendees into discussion pods or breakout tables. Pick the number of tables and the tool spreads people evenly across them. Because it splits strangers at random, folks mix instead of sitting with the colleagues they walked in with.
Set the group count so each group is a pair, and you get randomized partners for peer review, study buddies, or a gift swap. Reshuffle until the pairings look right for the activity. Every name gets placed, so nobody is left without a partner.
Split a living room full of relatives into trivia teams or charades sides. Paste everyone's name, choose two or three teams, and you have fair sides without anyone captaining a draft. It keeps game night moving and takes the politics out of who picks whom.

A name picker chooses one name at a time, so you spin repeatedly and someone is always picked last. A random group generator splits the entire roster in a single step and assigns everyone at once. Use the picker to select a winner, and use this to build teams.
The tool shuffles your list with a cryptographically secure random generator (a Fisher-Yates shuffle with rejection sampling), then deals names into the groups you asked for. There is no hidden weighting or bias, so every arrangement is equally likely. Reshuffling produces a completely fresh split each time.
The tool keeps group sizes as close as it can. If the total will not divide cleanly, some groups get one extra person while the rest stay one smaller. For example, seventeen names in three groups become sizes of six, six, and five.
Yes, it is completely free with no account, no sign-up, and no email required. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded to a server or stored anywhere. Close the tab and the list is gone.
Yes. Set the number of groups to half the number of names and each group becomes a pair. This is handy for partner activities, peer review, or a gift swap. If your total is odd, one group will hold three people.
Absolutely. Reshuffle as many times as you want and each pass gives you a new random arrangement. It is quick, so you can try a few and keep the one that best separates people who tend to cluster.
