This tool uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle, which gives every possible order the same probability. A common shortcut, sorting with a random comparator, is known to produce biased orders because the sort never tests every pair. Here each swap draws its index from the browser's cryptographic random number generator, with rejection sampling to remove modulo bias, so every ordering of the same list is equally likely.
Shuffle any list into a random order, or pick a set number from it. Paste a list with one item per line and this list randomizer shuffles it into a random order. Enter a number to take only that many items from the shuffled list, for a random winner, a sample or a running order. The shuffle is a Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by the browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so every order is equally likely.
A randomizer is only as good as its shuffle. A fair shuffle gives every ordering the same probability, which matters for raffles, draw orders and sampling. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.
Every item and every order is equally likely.
Take the first N items of the shuffled list for winners or a sample.
One click copies the new order.
Your list never leaves the page.
Split names into balanced random teams instead of one ordered list.
Pick random letters from A to Z with or without repeats.
Spin a fair wheel for a quick yes, no or maybe.
Draw random whole numbers, for example to pick a list position.
No. The random group generator deals names into teams. This tool shuffles one list and can take a set number from it. Use the group generator when you want balanced teams.
Up to 5,000 items, one per line. Blank lines and extra spaces are ignored.
No. Duplicates are kept, so an item listed twice can appear twice in the result. Remove duplicates first if you want each item once.
Paste the 50 entries, enter 3 in the pick box, and click Randomize. The three lines shown are the winners, in random order.
It is fine for casual use, but it is not designed for unpredictability. Cryptographic randomness removes that concern for draws that people will check.
