Paste a list of names, choose either the number of teams or the number of people per team, and the generator shuffles the list fairly and deals it into evenly sized groups. No sign-up, no uploads — works instantly in your browser on phone and desktop.
What does this tool do?
Splits your list into random, balanced teams — choose team count or team size and get fair groups instantly, with shuffling you can re-run until it feels right.
It follows the utility philosophy: open, use, close. No onboarding, no settings to learn, no account to create — the controls are self-explanatory and the result is immediate. That simplicity is why it works as well on a borrowed phone as on your own laptop.
Using it is simple: the inputs are “Names (one per line)” and “Value”; “Make teams” runs the tool. Results update live as you work — there is no waiting and nothing to submit.
How do I use this tool?
The tool is ready the moment the page opens — no setup, no account. The steps below cover everything it does.
- Enter your values in “Names (one per line)”, “Value”.
- Click “Make teams” to run the tool and see the result.
How does it work?
The list is cryptographically shuffled (Fisher–Yates), then dealt round-robin into teams — which keeps sizes balanced (differing by at most one) while staying random.
State lives in the tab: start it, use it, close it. There is no backend to fail, no sync to conflict — which is also why the tool loads instantly and works offline after the first visit.
Use cases in Pakistan
Sports day teams, classroom group projects, office tournament brackets and family game nights — random teams end the “captains pick friends” problem and mix skill levels fairly.
These are the tools people recommend to each other on WhatsApp — simple, free, no install — because they solve the small problems everyone hits: timing something, picking fairly, testing a device. Bookmark the ones you use; they age well.
Limitations
Random, not skill-balanced — it cannot know who is good. For competitive balance, seed known players manually first.
Convenience tools are not certified instruments: fine for everyday purposes, but do not stake safety, money or legal outcomes on a browser utility. Know which category your use falls into.

Are teams balanced?
In size, yes (within one person). In skill, no — randomness does not know abilities. Keep the tab visible and the device awake for timing tasks; background throttling is the main source of surprises.
