Random Name Picker & Team Maker

Paste names (one per line or comma-separated), then pick random winners or split into teams. Nothing leaves your browser.

How it works

Names are cleaned (blank lines and duplicates removed), shuffled with a Fisher-Yates shuffle using your browser's secure random generator, then the first names are picked or dealt into teams.

FAQ

Is the pick really random?

It uses your browser's secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, so every name has an equal chance.

Are my names stored or uploaded?

No. Names stay in this page and are gone when you close or refresh it.

What happens with duplicate names?

Duplicates are ignored (case-insensitive) so nobody gets a double chance. Add a surname or initial to keep two people with the same name.

How do the teams work?

Names are shuffled, then dealt out one by one, so team sizes differ by at most one.
