Frequently Asked Questions

Is the random picker truly random?
Yes. It uses the Web Crypto API for cryptographically secure random numbers, making results unpredictable and provably fair.
Can I remove picked items from the list?
Yes. Check the "Remove picked items from list" option and each picked name will be automatically removed from the textarea, so they cannot be picked again.
What is the Team Assigner?
The Team Assigner randomly distributes a list of names into groups. Enter names, choose how many teams, and the tool shuffles and assigns everyone fairly. Great for group projects, sports, or team-building exercises.

Use boundary: this is a browser-local convenience picker, not an audited draw. Confirm the selection method and participant list before any regulated or high-stakes use.
