Frequently Asked Questions
How are groups distributed?
Names are randomly shuffled, then divided as evenly as possible. If there are remainders, extra members are distributed among the first groups.
Is the selection truly random?
Yes, we use JavaScript's random number generator to ensure fair, unpredictable groupings.
Can I save the groups?
Use the "Copy All" button to copy the formatted groups to your clipboard, then paste anywhere.
What's the maximum number of names?
There's no hard limit, but very large lists may take longer to process.
Can I create uneven groups?
Currently, the tool creates the most even distribution possible. For custom sizes, generate more groups and combine as needed.
