Random team splitter

Drop in a list of names and get balanced random teams — shuffle again until it feels right.

Team names

How to use it

  1. Paste your list of names — one per line, or separated by commas on one line. Blank lines and stray commas are ignored, and each line is kept whole (a name with a space stays one name).
  2. Choose how to split: “Number of teams” makes that many groups, or “People per team” makes as many groups as needed so no group is larger than that. Pick the team-name style (numbers or letters).
  3. Press “Split into teams” to shuffle and divide. Press it again to roll a new arrangement; switch the name style to relabel without reshuffling. “Copy all” or “Download .txt” takes the result away.

Henry

Names are shuffled, so your split will differ. Groups are balanced: with 8 people into 3 teams the sizes are 3, 3, 2 — they never differ by more than one person.

Scope, limits and common questions

  • Balanced only: groups differ by at most one person. There is no “uneven” toggle — an uneven split is strictly less fair, so it is not offered.
  • Randomness comes from your browser’s crypto.getRandomValues — a cryptographically strong local shuffle. Nothing is uploaded, stored or put into the URL, and the share button shares the page link only.
  • If you ask for more teams than people, the tool makes one team per person and tells you; it will not invent empty teams.
  • Names are taken exactly as typed, including duplicates — if the same person is listed twice, they appear twice. The list is never rewritten.
  • Only one delimiter is understood (newline or comma). Pasting from a spreadsheet usually lands as one name per line, which is what this tool expects.

What people usually need next, once the teams are set.
