What is List Splitter?

List Splitter takes a line-separated list and breaks it into groups — fixed size chunks, a target number of buckets, or sections already separated by blank lines.

Part of the List Ops cluster. Clean duplicates with Remove Duplicates from List before you split.


Modes

Every N lines

Groups of size N. Last group may be shorter. Default on Split List into Chunks is N=10.

Into K groups

Distribute items into K buckets as evenly as possible — ideal for A/B splits.

By blank line

Treat blank lines as section breaks. Keeps multi-line sections intact.


How to use it

Paste your list

One item per line into the input.

Pick a mode

Chunk by N, into K groups, or blank-line sections.

Set N or K

Adjust the number; optionally label groups and drop blanks.

Copy groups

Copy all, or copy one group at a time.


Tips

For email A/B tests: dedupe first, then use Into K groups with K=2 so both buckets are as equal as possible.

Label groups when you will paste into a doc and need headings. Turn labels off when feeding a script that expects raw lines only.
