How to use Random Partner Generator

Enter participant names
Type or paste your list of names into the input area — one name per line. You can also import names from a CSV, Excel, or text file.
Choose how many groups
Set the number of groups you need. The generator divides your list as evenly as it can and shows how many names land in each group.
Generate the groups
Select Generate. Every name is shuffled and dealt out at random, so no group is decided in advance and no name is favoured.
Save or export the results
Download the groups as a CSV file, print them or save them as a PDF, or export the result as a PNG image. Saved sessions stay in your own browser.
