Does it try to balance teams by skill, or just split randomly?

It performs a genuinely random split — if you need skill-based balancing, you'd need to pre-sort or seed the groups yourself before randomizing within them.

Can I set the number of teams, or just the number of people per team?

You can typically specify either how many teams you want, or how many people per team, and it divides the list accordingly.

What happens if the number of names doesn't divide evenly?

Teams are kept as balanced as possible, with any remainder distributed across the teams rather than leaving one team significantly larger.

Does Random Team Generator upload my files to a server?

No. Random Team Generator runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Splitting a group into balanced teams by hand often ends up reflecting the picker's own biases, even unintentionally — friends grouped together, stronger players clustered — rather than a genuinely random and fair split. This tool randomly splits a list of names into balanced teams, giving you a fair, unbiased grouping instead of a manual split that can end up lopsided.
