Combination Generator: Generate all random combinations & pairs (2024)

What is Combination Generator?

Combination Generator or Pair Generator is an online tool to pair and generate all possible (unique) combinations from one or two lists of items or names which can be sorted by group, random or by input.

In the random pairing generator you can choose if you want to generate a number of random combination or all possible combinations without repetition. All combination can be unique, random, sorted by input and/or grouped by one list.

You can also create combinations from one list of items which will create pairs or combinations. It's also possible to generate combinations with 3 items per combination.

After entering one or two list of items, you will see the possible number of combinations. When selecting a specific number of combination, it will always be a random combination. You can also choose how you want to separate the combinations, by newline, comma, pipe, space or line between.
