How balanced random groups work
The list is shuffled in your browser, then distributed as evenly as possible. Every valid input occurrence is assigned exactly once.
- Number of teams
- creates that many groups, with group sizes differing by at most one.
- People per team
- uses the value as a target maximum, derives the needed number of groups, then balances them.
- Repeated names
- stay as separate occurrences because two different people can have the same name.
Common uses

- classroom teams and study groups

Frequently asked questions
Are the teams equally sized?
They are balanced as evenly as possible. When the list does not divide evenly, team sizes differ by at most one.
Can I choose group size instead of team count?
Yes. Choose People per team and the tool derives enough groups to keep each group at or below that target size.
Can two people have the same name?
Yes. Repeated lines are kept as separate participant occurrences.
Are the names uploaded?
No. Team generation runs locally in your browser.
