Random Team Generator
Split a list of names into fair teams.
What would you like to do next?
Split people into random, balanced teams
Paste a list of names, one per line, and this generator shuffles them and shares them out into teams of even size. Pick how many teams you want, or how many people each team should hold, and it works out the rest, distributing people round-robin so the groups never end up lopsided. It is made for the everyday job of picking sides for a game, sorting a classroom into project groups, or drawing pairs for a tournament, without anyone arguing that the split was rigged. The shuffle uses your browser's secure random generator, so each press gives a genuinely different, unbiased result, and you can reshuffle until you are happy. Nothing leaves your device.
Teams by count or by size
Choose a fixed number of teams when you know how many groups you need, or a fixed size when each team must hold a set number of people; the tool balances whichever you pick.
Frequently asked questions
How are the teams kept even?
After shuffling, people are dealt out one at a time across the teams, so the sizes differ by at most one even when the list does not divide evenly.
Is the shuffle actually random?
Yes. It uses the browser's cryptographic random source with a proper shuffle, so every arrangement is equally likely and a fresh press gives a new result.
Can I make pairs?
Yes. Switch to people-per-team and enter two, and the tool groups everyone into pairs, adding the odd person to a group if the count is uneven.
