List randomizer
Paste a list with one item per line and shuffle it into a random order, or pick a set number of random winners. Duplicates can be removed first. Every order is equally likely.
0 items
Uses a fair shuffle (Fisher-Yates) driven by your browser’s secure random generator, so every order is equally likely.
How it works
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Choose to shuffle all, or enter how many to pick.
- Press the button and copy the result.
Fair shuffle
The tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle with random numbers from your browser’s secure generator and avoids modulo bias, so no position is favoured.
Picking winners
Enter a number to pick that many items in random order. Nobody is picked twice.
Uses
Draw giveaway winners, set a speaking order, split a class into random order or choose who goes first.
Reshuffle
Press the button again to get a new random order.
Questions
Can the same item be picked twice?
No, unless it appears twice in your list. Use Remove duplicates to avoid that.
Is it really random?
It uses the browser’s cryptographically secure random generator.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything is done in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
