Question 1

Is Grpit free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free — no signup, no subscription, no ads. Grpit is a simple tool that does one thing well.

Question 2

Does Grpit store my names or any personal data?

Accepted Answer

No. The names you type are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to any server or stored anywhere. Grpit may use standard analytics to understand how the tool is used in aggregate, but this never includes the names you enter.

Question 3

How do I split a class of 30 students into groups of 5?

Accepted Answer

Paste your 30 student names, select People per group, set the number to 5, and click Split. Grpit will instantly create 6 random groups of 5. If the numbers don't divide evenly, the remainder is distributed across the first groups so no one is left out.

Question 4

How do I divide students into a specific number of groups?

Accepted Answer

Select Number of groups, enter how many groups you need, and click Split. Grpit calculates how many people go in each group automatically and distributes any remainder as evenly as possible.

Question 5

Can I use Grpit to make random teams for work meetings or workshops?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Grpit is used daily by team leads, facilitators, and workshop organisers to create random breakout groups, pair programming partners, or project teams. Just paste your team's names and split.

Question 6

What happens if my group size doesn't divide evenly?

Accepted Answer

Grpit distributes the remaining people across the first groups, so groups differ by at most one person. For example, splitting 22 people into 4 groups gives you two groups of 6 and two groups of 5.

Question 7

Is the randomisation truly random?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grpit uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, one of the most statistically sound and unbiased randomisation methods available. Every name has an equal probability of landing in any group.

Question 8

How do I export or share the groups?

Accepted Answer

You can copy all groups to clipboard with one click, then paste into Slack, email, or a document. You can also download a CSV file to import directly into Excel or Google Sheets, with each group as a separate column.

Question 9

Do I need to create an account or install anything?

Accepted Answer

No account, no installation, no extension. Grpit is a web-based tool — just open the page, paste your names, and go. It works in any modern browser including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Question 10

What is a random group generator?

Accepted Answer

A random group generator is a tool that takes a list of names and fairly divides them into smaller groups using a randomisation algorithm. It removes human bias from group assignments, saving time and ensuring every participant has an equal chance of being in any group.

Question 11

Can I use Grpit for student random seating arrangements?

Accepted Answer

Yes — many teachers use Grpit not just for group projects but also to assign random seats, reading partners, presentation order, or lab partners. Any scenario that needs fair, unbiased random assignment works perfectly.

Question 12

Can I use Grpit offline?

Accepted Answer

Once the page is loaded in your browser, Grpit works without an internet connection — all processing is local. This makes it reliable even in schools or venues with poor Wi-Fi.
