Random Team Generator

Paste a list of names and split it into fair, random teams — by number of teams or by team size.

How it works

Random team generator: split a list into fair teams

Paste names one per line (or separated by commas), choose either how many teams you want or how many people per team, and press Make teams. The list is shuffled with secure randomness and dealt out round-robin, so team sizes never differ by more than one.

Not happy with the draw? Shuffle again for a fresh split, then copy the teams as text to paste into a chat, a slide or a spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions

How does the random team generator work?

It shuffles your list with the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator and deals the names into teams one at a time, so every arrangement is equally likely and team sizes differ by at most one.

Can I choose the team size instead of the number of teams?

Yes. Switch to "People per team" and enter the size; the number of teams is worked out from your list.

Can I make pairs?

Yes — choose "People per team" and enter 2.

Is it free?

Yes — free, with no sign-up and no list limit.
