Paste or type a list of names — one per line or separated by commas — pick how many teams you want (2 to 10), and the generator runs a Fisher-Yates shuffle on the list before splitting it round-robin across that many teams. A Fisher-Yates shuffle is the standard algorithm for producing a truly random ordering: every possible arrangement of the list is equally likely, so there's no bias toward names entered first or last. Once shuffled, players are dealt out one at a time to each team in turn, which keeps team sizes as even as the math allows — 10 players into 3 teams comes out 4-3-3, never a lopsided split.
There are really three ways to split a group into teams, and each trades off speed against balance. Captains picking one at a time is fastest to start but worst socially — it's public, and someone is always visibly picked last. A snake draft, where captains alternate picks and the order reverses each round, produces better skill balance because captains can draft around known ability, but it takes longer and still needs someone willing to rank their peers out loud. Random generation skips both problems: no ranking, no visible last pick, done in one click. It's the right tool when the goal is fairness and speed rather than competitive skill balance — pickup games, gym classes, and casual office events are exactly that case. If you're running a competitive league where skill balance actually matters more than speed, a snake draft is worth the extra time.
