Random Team Picker
Shuffle a list of names into evenly sized random teams.
Names
Teams
Private by design. This page has no backend. Names are shuffled entirely in your browser and are never sent anywhere.
How it works
Enter a list of names (one per line), choose how many teams you want, and press Shuffle into teams. Names are distributed as evenly as possible: if you have 10 names and 3 teams, two teams get 4 and one gets 3.
Fairness
The shuffle uses a cryptographically random source where available (the same approach used by the Password Generator on this site), with a Math.random fallback. The Fisher-Yates algorithm ensures every ordering is equally likely.
Persistence
Your name list and team count are saved in this browser so they survive a page reload. Press Clear to remove them.
How to use the Random Team Picker

Frequently asked questions
Are the teams even?
Names are distributed as evenly as possible, so group sizes differ by at most one.
Is the shuffle fair?
Yes. The order is randomised using your browser's random generator, so the teams are unbiased.
Can I balance more than one list at once?
The picker shuffles one list of names into teams; run it again for a fresh draw.
