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

1
Pick your deckUse a standard 52-card deck, or add two jokers for games that use them.
2
Choose how many to drawDeal a 5-card poker hand, cut a single card, or draw the entire deck for a full shuffle.
3
Shuffle and dealXrandom shuffles the full deck fairly, then deals your requested number of cards from the top.

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.
