About Pair generator

One list: enter names and they are put into pairs. With an odd number, one group has three people.

Two lists: enter list A (for example students) and list B (for example report topics). Each entry in A is matched with a random entry in B; if B is shorter it is reused so everyone gets a match.

Every draw uses your browser's cryptographically secure random generator (Web Crypto), so every entry has exactly the same chance and nobody can fix the result in advance. Your list stays on your device — it is only sent to our server when you save a list or run a recorded giveaway draw.

FAQ

What about an odd number of people?

The last person joins the final pair as a group of three, so nobody is left out.
