Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool handle uneven numbers when grouping by size?
If the total number of names is not perfectly divisible by your chosen group size, the remaining individuals are distributed into the final group. This ensures no one is left out of the session.
Is my name list stored on your servers?
No. All randomization and processing occur locally within your web browser. Your data never leaves your device, making it safe for sensitive corporate or student lists.
Can I import data directly from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Simply copy your column of names and paste them into the input box. The tool automatically handles common delimiters like tabs, commas, and new lines.
What is the maximum limit for names?
The generator is optimized to handle several thousand names simultaneously without performance lag, though the browser's memory is the only practical limit.
