Group Maker
Random
Paste a list of names and the tool shuffles them into balanced groups using crypto-quality randomness. Choose between two modes: 'by groups' (you set how many groups you want) or 'by per-group size' (you set the people per group and the tool figures out how many groups). Useful for sports teams, classrooms, workshops, brainstorming sessions, anywhere you need a fair split.
How to use
- Paste names, one per line.
- Pick mode: number of groups, or people per group.
- Enter the count.
- Click Shuffle to get a fresh random split.
Frequently asked questions
- Are groups always exactly equal?
- Not always — if the total isn't divisible, the first groups get one extra person. For 10 people in 3 groups: 4 / 3 / 3.
- How random is it?
- Uses crypto.getRandomValues with the Fisher–Yates shuffle, so each ordering is equally likely. No modulo bias.
- Difference vs Raffle Draw?
- Raffle Draw picks N winners from a list. Group Maker assigns everyone into balanced groups — no one is left out.
- Are my names sent anywhere?
- No. The list stays on this page; nothing is uploaded.
