Random Group Generator

How to Use Random Group Generator

1. Paste the list of names – enter one name per line in the text area. You can paste from Excel, a class roster, or type manually.
2. Choose the split method – select “Split into N groups” to specify how many groups you want, or “Group size K” to specify how many people per group.
3. Enter the number – type the number of groups or the group size. The tool distributes names as evenly as possible, with any remainder spread across groups.
4. Click “Shuffle & Split” – the tool uses a Fisher‑Yates shuffle to randomise the list, then divides it into groups. Click again to re‑shuffle, or copy the result with one click.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the number of names is not evenly divisible by the group size?

The tool distributes the extra names one by one across the first few groups (round‑robin). For example, 10 names into 3 groups gives sizes 4, 3, and 3. No one is left out.

Can I assign group labels like “Team A”, “Team B”, etc.?

Yes, the output labels groups as “Group 1”, “Group 2”, etc. You can easily rename them by editing the result before copying. Custom group names may be added in a future update.

Is the shuffle truly random?

Yes, the tool uses the Fisher‑Yates algorithm, which produces a uniform random permutation. Each click gives a genuinely different random arrangement.

Is Random Group Generator free and private?

Yes — it is 100% free, needs no sign‑up, and everything runs in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
