Random Team Generator exists for the moment a PE teacher, a pub quiz host, or a workshop organizer needs to split a group fast, without arguments about who ends up where. We built Team Split, a free browser tool that does the same job right here. Type in your names, pick how many teams you want, and shuffle. No app store, no account, no waiting.
Split your group into teams now
It opens with a sample roster already split into three teams. Add your own names, set your team count, and press Shuffle.
How to use it
Type a name into the field and press Add or hit Enter. Repeat for everyone in your group, using the × next to a name to remove it if you add someone by mistake. The stepper below the roster sets how many teams to build, anywhere from two to eight. Press Shuffle and watch names get dealt into team cards one at a time.
Every name can optionally carry a skill number, entered in the small field next to the name box. Turn on Balanced mode and Team Split uses those numbers to even out the total skill in each team with a simple snake-draft, the same approach real team generators use for mixed-ability groups. Leave the numbers out and shuffles stay purely random.
Every control works with a keyboard as well as touch, and your roster, team count, and mode are saved on your device, so reloading the page brings your group back exactly as you left it.
How it compares to Random Team Generator
Team Split keeps the part people actually open a team generator for: type names, set a team count, shuffle, get a fair split. We built in the balancing option too, because skill-weighted teams are one of the more requested features in this category, and it works well enough for a quick sports match or classroom activity without any setup.
Random Team Generator goes further as a dedicated app. It runs fully offline with no browser tab required, and being installed means it is one tap away every time, without needing a page to load first. A native app also tends to hold onto saved rosters and settings across longer stretches without depending on browser storage.
Our honest take: use Team Split when you are already on a laptop, tablet, or shared screen and need a quick, visible shuffle the whole group can watch. Install the full app when splitting groups is a recurring part of your routine, coaching, teaching, or running regular game nights, and you want it ready on your phone without opening a browser at all.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make random teams online without downloading anything?
Yes. Team Split runs entirely in your browser above. Add your names, choose a team count, and press Shuffle to get a fair random split, no install and no account.
Is this the official Random Team Generator app?
No. Team Split is an original tool we built, inspired by the group-splitting problem apps like Random Team Generator solve. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to that app’s developer. Get the official app from the links above if you want a dedicated team-splitting tool on your phone.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, shuffling happens entirely in your browser with no network requests, so a spotty connection will not interrupt a split. You do need the page to load once, which is the one thing a native offline app avoids.
Is my name list private?
Yes. Your roster, team count, and mode are saved in your browser’s local storage on your own device. Nothing is uploaded or logged anywhere, including when you use Share, which only sends how many names got split into how many teams, never the names themselves.
Can it balance teams by skill level?
Yes, optionally. Give any name a skill number when you add it, turn on Balanced mode, and Team Split spreads those numbers across teams with a snake-draft so no single team ends up stacked. Leave the numbers blank for a purely random shuffle instead.
