Maximum input and result: 1 MB of UTF-8 text, with a 1,048,576-character input ceiling. Expanding transformations must also fit the result limit.

02

Check how the tool works

This tool has no extra transformation options to set. Keep the source exactly as shown to compare the result.

The shuffle uses browser randomness to rearrange the list. Blank lines and repeated entries remain part of that list, and every original entry is retained. Run it again for another ordering, then copy or download the version you want to keep.
