How the Card Deck Shuffler works

This tool models a real deck of playing cards and shuffles it using the Fisher–Yates algorithm driven by cryptographically secure randomness — the same rigorous shuffle used across Xrandom's other list and sequence tools — then deals from the top of that shuffled deck, so drawing 5 cards never repeats a card within the same draw.

A mathematically perfect shuffle of 52 cards has 52! possible orderings, an almost incomprehensibly large number; every shuffle here is drawn uniformly from that full space, avoiding the subtle non-randomness that can result from a small number of manual riffle shuffles.

How to use it

Frequently asked questions

Can the same card be drawn twice in one hand?

No — cards are dealt without replacement from a single shuffled deck, exactly like a physical deal.

How do jokers get represented?

When included, they appear as 'Joker A' and 'Joker B' and can be dealt like any other card.

Can I draw the whole deck?

Yes, set the draw count to 52 (or 54 with jokers) to see the entire deck in its shuffled order.
