Guides
The general-purpose randomizer: paste any list — names, options, tasks, restaurants, anything — and either pick random entries from it or shuffle the whole thing. When you can't decide, let chance decide.
How to use it
- Enter your items, one per line (or upload a
.txtfile). - Choose a mode: Pick random items (and how many) or Shuffle the whole list.
- Optionally remove duplicates first, then hit Randomize.
Picks are drawn without replacement — one run never returns the same line twice — and shuffling uses a Fisher–Yates shuffle, so every ordering is equally likely.
This is the generic tool of the random-generator family — for specific jobs (numbers, names, teams, birthdays, movies…) there's a dedicated child generator with the right options and data built in; they're all listed in the Child tools section below.
Is the randomness fair?
Yes — picks and shuffles give every item and every ordering an equal chance. Note that duplicate lines increase an item's odds in pick mode; tick Remove duplicated items for a strict one-entry-one-chance draw.
Does it work offline / is my data private?
Everything runs in your browser — your list never leaves your device, and uploaded files are read locally. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
