Create your tier list online with the free Tier List Maker: move text entries or your own images into tiers from S to F, customize names and colors, and save your ranking as a PNG. No sign-up required; your images stay in your browser.

Ranking settled? Play the winners together on your own server.
Tip: Click a tier name or the gear icon to change its name and color.
Separate multiple entries with commas. Drag or tap to arrange them. You can also drag images here or paste them with Ctrl+V; they stay in your browser.
Example result
Drag entries from the pool into tiers from S (best) to D (worst). The result is a tier list with colored rows that you can save as a PNG or, for text-only lists, share as a link. Two worked examples:
Result
Each row shows what goes in that tier: Survival and Sandbox in S, Role-playing and Strategy in A, Shooter in B, Racing in C, and Horror in D. The order within a tier is up to you; the tier itself is what counts.
Result
| Content | Where is it located? | Who can see it? |
|---|---|---|
| Custom images | Resized locally in your browser | Only you |
| Text entries and tiers | In your browser's local storage | Only you |
| Share link | Text only, directly in the address, nothing on our servers | Anyone with the link |
| PNG export | Generated in your browser and stored locally | Only you, until you send it |
The Tier List Maker needs no account or server: what you rank stays in your browser. A link contains only text, never images.
Basics
A tier list is a ranking that groups entries into tiers rather than putting them in a strict order. A tier is a level or rank. S is at the top for the best entries, followed by A, B, C, and D, with F at the bottom. With Tier List Maker, you can create your ranking online for free, without an account.
Top tier: the best, impossible to beat.
Very good: a strong choice, just behind the top option.
Good: reliable and a good choice for most people.
Solid middle ground: okay, but nothing special.
Weak: recommended only in exceptional cases.
Poor: little benefit; best avoided.

How it works
From your first list to the finished ranking, without an account or download.
Step 1
Use “Load Starter List” to load a list such as “Popular Games,” type your own entries, or add images by selecting them, dragging and dropping them, or pressing Ctrl+V. New entries collect in the “Unranked” pool. You can also drag images directly into a tier.
Step 2
Move each entry into a tier from S (best) to F (worst). On mobile, tap the entry and then the tier.
Step 3
Click a tier name or the gear icon to change its name and color, move it, or delete it. You can use up to ten tiers or choose a tier preset such as 1 to 5.
Step 4
Save your tier list as a double-resolution PNG or copy a share link containing the text entries. Your images stay in your browser.
Use cases
From games and characters to snacks and soccer teams: rank whatever matters to you.
Rank your favorite games, genres, or platforms from S to F. Use “Load Starter List” to get entries ready to rank.
For heroes, classes, weapons, or maps, add screenshots or icons as images. They're cropped to squares and stay in your browser.
Not just for gaming: rank candy, soccer teams, movies, or names from your group in a text-only list and share it via a link.
Rank together on one screen, post the result as a PNG on Discord, or show your tier list in videos and streams.

FAQ
Quick answers about tier lists, images, privacy, and sharing.
A tier list groups entries into tiers, or ranks. S is the top tier, above A. Then come A (very good), B (good), C (average), D (weak), and F (poor). S is often interpreted as “Super” or “Special” and is familiar from video game ratings. You decide what the tiers mean, because you can rename them in Tier List Maker.
Tier List Maker is free, and you don't need an account or email address. It runs directly in your browser, with no app or download needed. Your browser saves the list locally so you can continue on your next visit. Use “Delete All Entries” to remove the entries, or clear the website data to remove the entire saved list.
No, your images are not uploaded. They're read in your browser, cropped to squares, and resized to 160 pixels. You can add PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, and BMP files up to 20 MB each using “Add Images,” drag and drop, or Ctrl+V to paste from your clipboard—for example, a screenshot. The filename becomes the entry name. PNG exports are also created in your browser, and images are never included in a share link.
Yes. Type an entry and press Enter. Separate multiple entries with commas or paste a list with one entry per line. A tier list can hold up to 120 entries of no more than 40 characters each. Text entries appear as labeled tiles and, unlike images, can also be shared via a link.
Tap an entry to select it. Then tap the tier you want to put it in, or choose a tier from the “Move to” bar. Use “Return to Pool” to move it back. You can also control the bar with your keyboard. On a computer, you can drag and drop entries, including within a tier to change their order.
Yes. Click a colored tier name or the gear icon to open its settings. There, you can change its name and color, move it up or down, or delete it. Entries in a deleted tier return to the pool. Use “Add Tier” to create up to ten tiers—for example, an “SS” tier that you move to the very top. Tier names can be up to 24 characters long.
Yes, two kinds. Choose a starter list using “Load Starter List”: popular games, game genres, platforms, or gaming snacks. It replaces all current entries but keeps your tiers. Use “Choose Tier Preset” to change the scale: S to F, S to D, 1 to 5, or Top to Bad. Entries you've already ranked return to the pool. Use “Undo” or Ctrl+Z to restore the previous state.
Use “Save as PNG” to download a double-resolution image of your tiers and all ranked entries, for example to post on Discord, YouTube, or Reddit. A small credit to ZAP-Hosting's Tier List Maker appears at the bottom of the image. “Copy Share Link” creates a link containing the title, tiers, and all text entries. Anyone who opens it can see your tier list and build on it. If the link gets too long, use fewer or shorter entries, or export a PNG. Nothing is saved on our servers.
