List Randomizer

How it works

Paste one item per line, choose Shuffle or Pick N, then click Randomize. Shuffle mode reorders every line using Fisher-Yates with crypto-backed random swaps. Pick N mode shuffles first, then returns the top N unique lines.

Benefits

• Unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle backed by Web Crypto
• Optional Pick N mode for selecting unique winners
• Handles up to 2,000 lines per run
• No upload—your list stays in the browser

Use cases

• Pick random winners from a raffle or giveaway entry list
• Randomize the order of tasks, topics, or presentation order
• Shuffle teams or pairings for games and activities
• Create randomized quiz or survey question order

Best practices

• Remove duplicate entries before shuffling if uniqueness matters
• Use Pick N when you need a fixed number of unique selections
• Keep one entry per line for accurate parsing
• Copy or download the result immediately after randomizing

Common mistakes

• Pasting multiple entries on one line separated by commas instead of newlines
• Requesting a Pick N count larger than the number of lines
• Assuming Shuffle removes duplicates—identical lines can end up adjacent
• Forgetting to remove blank lines that break intended row alignment

Privacy

Shuffling and picking happen locally using crypto.getRandomValues. ToolHub does not receive, log, or store the list contents you paste into this tool.
