How do I split people into random teams?

Paste one name per line, choose how many teams (or how many people per team), then generate. The names are shuffled and shared out evenly.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the names you enter stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Can I split by team size instead?

Yes. Switch to people-per-team and the group is divided into teams of that size.

Fair teams, no arguments

Picking teams by hand always feels biased and takes forever. This generator shuffles the whole list randomly and shares people out as evenly as possible, so the teams are balanced in size and nobody can claim it was rigged.

How to use it

1. Click Open the team generator. 2. Paste one name per line. 3. Choose number of teams or people per team and set the count. 4. Generate — the teams appear instantly as cards. Re-run any time for a fresh shuffle, and your list is saved for next time.

Need more control? Open Constraints to keep certain pairs apart (rival siblings, chatty deskmates) or force pairs together (a buddy system) — the generator reshuffles until every rule is satisfied.

Private by design

Everything happens in your browser. The names you paste are never uploaded, stored on a server or tracked, so it is safe for class rosters and team lists.

Making fair teams in seconds

Splitting a group into balanced teams by hand is slow and never feels quite fair. A team generator shuffles everyone randomly and divides them into the number of teams you choose, so the result is impartial. It is handy for sports, group projects, board games and icebreakers.

Just paste your list of names, pick how many teams (or how many people per team) you want, and generate. Each run reshuffles for a different split, and everything happens in your browser, so the names you enter are never uploaded or stored.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the team generator free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up and no limits.

Are the teams even?

Yes. Names are shared out one by one, so team sizes differ by at most one person.

Are my names uploaded?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser; your list never leaves your device.

Can I make a tournament instead?

Yes — use the tournament bracket to pair players into a knockout draw.

Can I set the number of teams or the team size?

Yes. Choose either how many teams you want or how many people per team, and the rest is divided automatically.

Are the teams really random?

Yes. Every generation reshuffles the full list, so no one can predict or influence who ends up together.
