Text tier list maker

Type or paste a list of names, one per line, and rank them. No images, no uploads, nothing to wait for. Text charts load instantly and stay readable when someone views them on a phone.

Items to rank

Add images or text to start ranking.
Drag an item into a row. On a phone, tap an item once and then tap the row you want it in. Click a tier letter to rename it, or use the colour dot to change the row colour.

Why skip the images?

Pictures look good but they are not always worth the effort. If you are ranking podcast episodes, colleagues, restaurant names or programming languages, there is no obvious image for each one, and hunting down forty thumbnails takes longer than the ranking itself.

Text charts also survive compression better on social feeds, because there is no fine detail to lose. Keep each name short and the whole thing stays legible.

Getting your list in

Press Add text and paste your list with one item per line. A list copied out of a spreadsheet column, a notes app or a chat message will paste straight in. Items longer than about sixty characters get trimmed so the tiles stay a readable size.

Making it read well

  • Short names beat full titles. Trim subtitles and season numbers.
  • Keep rows to about ten items so each tile stays large enough to read.
  • Rename the tiers to match your topic instead of leaving S, A, B, C, D.

If you would rather use pictures after all, upload your own images works the same way.

Common questions

Is the tier list maker really free?
Yes. This tier list maker is free and there is no paid version hiding behind a button. Create tier lists without limit, upload as many images as you want, and download every tier list without a watermark.
Do I need to make an account?
No. There is no login and no email box. Open the page, build your list, save the image and you are done.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Press Add images and pick as many files as you like from your phone or computer. You can upload original content, paste an image straight from your clipboard with Ctrl and V, or drag image files onto the board.
Are my pictures uploaded anywhere?
No. The maker runs entirely inside your browser. Your files are read on your device and never sent to us, which is also why it keeps working when your connection drops.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Dragging works with touch, and if that feels fiddly you can tap an item once and then tap the row you want it in. The layout adjusts to small screens.
How do I save my tier list?
Press Save image. Your tier list is drawn to a high-resolution PNG and downloaded straight away, which is far cleaner than a screenshot and sharp enough to post or embed anywhere.
What does S tier mean?
S tier sits above A tier. The letter comes from Japanese grading, where S stands for special or superior. It is used for things that are clearly better than everything else on the list.
Can I add more than five tiers?
Yes. Press Add tier for a new row, then use the small controls beside each row to reorder it, rename any tier, change their colors or delete it. You can add or remove as many tiers as you like.
Can I share a link instead of an image?
Yes. The Share button copies a link that carries your list inside it. Anyone who opens it sees your ranking and can start editing their own copy right away.
