Group Generator
Shuffle names into balanced random groups for classes, workshops and teams.
Groups
Paste names, choose group size, then generate.
How to use
- Paste names, one per line.
- Choose the target group size.
- Keep balanced last group on if desired.
- Generate and copy the groups.
Quick reference
Names are shuffled in the browser each time you generate. Build by group size when you care how many people should sit together; build by number of groups when the room layout or station count is fixed.
| Setting | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Group size | You want groups of 3, 4 or another target size. |
| Number of groups | You have a fixed number of tables, stations or breakout rooms. |
| Balance last group | You want to avoid one tiny leftover group when building by size. |
| Offline | After one successful visit, this route can reopen from the service-worker cache. Keep the tab or installed app open for sound and live state. |
|---|---|
| Browser limits | Names and settings stay in this browser. Clearing site data removes them, and they do not sync between devices. |
