About

This Bingo Card Generator creates randomized, printable grids for events, educational activities, or remote work bonding (WFH). Unlike simple randomizers, this tool employs the Fisher-Yates Shuffle algorithm to ensure a mathematically uniform distribution of items across the grid.

When generating a standard 5×5 card, the center square is typically reserved as a Free Space. The probability of any specific item appearing in a specific cell (excluding the center) depends on the ratio of the pool size N to the available slots k.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to a server, ensuring your custom lists remain private. Use the Download Image feature to render a pixel-perfect PNG using the HTML5 Canvas API, or print directly to PDF.

Formulas

To understand the uniqueness of a generated bingo card, we calculate the number of possible arrangements. If you have a list of n items and a grid with k empty slots (e.g., 24 slots for a 5x5 card with free space), the number of unique combinations is given by the binomial coefficient:

C(n, k) = n!k!(n k)!

However, since position matters in Bingo (a line is formed by specific positions), the total permutations P are significantly higher:

P(n, k) = n!(n k)!

Where:

  • n = Total items in your input list.
  • k = Number of slots on the board.
  • ! = Factorial operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click the "Print PDF" button. The tool automatically formats the page to hide the editor controls and center the card on A4 paper. Alternatively, use "Download Image" to save a PNG file.
Yes. The tool uses LocalStorage to automatically save your current input list, title, and settings. They will be restored when you revisit the page.
In standard Bingo rules, the 5x5 grid has an odd number of cells (25). The central cell (row 3, column 3) is traditionally a "Free Space" to speed up gameplay. 4x4 grids do not have a center cell.
Yes. We use the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which is the industry standard for generating unbiased random permutations.
