Tier List Maker
Rank anything into tiers with drag and drop, then export a clean PNG.
Your tier list, including any images you add, stays in this page. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account and the exported PNG has no watermark.
What this tool does
A tier list maker lets you rank things into rows - classically S, A, B, C, D from best to worst - by dragging items into place. This one takes text labels or your own images, lets you rename and recolour every tier, add or reorder rows, and export the finished board as a PNG. It runs entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded, there is no account, and the download has no watermark.
Ranks text or image items into customisable tiers by drag and drop, with rows you can rename, recolour, add and reorder.
Exports the whole board as a clean PNG - no account, no watermark, and nothing uploaded, since it all runs on your device.
How to use it
- Add items: type a label and press Add, or upload images. They land in the unranked row.
- Drag each item up into the tier you think it belongs, and rename or recolour tiers to suit your list.
- Add or reorder rows if you need them, then press Download PNG to save the board.
Why use this maker
Ranking items into tiers is a popular format but needs a layout. Dragging items into rows and exporting a clean PNG avoids drawing it in an editor.
Why we built it
We built the tier list maker to rank text or your own images by drag and drop, with rows you can rename and recolour. Add pictures prepared with the image cropper and choose between options with the decision maker.
For a neighbouring job there is also the AVIF to PNG.
Who this tool is for
- Fans ranking games, films, foods or characters
- Streamers and content creators
- Friends settling debates

Text or images, your tiers
Rank anything, label it your way.
Items can be plain text - characters, films, foods, options, anything - or images you add from your device, shown as thumbnails. Everything starts in the unranked row at the bottom, and you drag each one into the tier where it belongs. Drag it back down or across at any time; nothing is fixed until you export.
The default rows are the familiar S to D, but nothing is locked. Rename a row to whatever you like, change its colour, add more rows for a finer ranking, delete ones you do not need, or reorder them. A tier list of restaurants and a tier list of characters do not have to look the same.
Nothing is uploaded
The images you add are read straight into the page and never sent anywhere, and the tier list itself lives only in your browser while you build it. That is the practical difference from many hosted tier makers: there is no sign-up, no per-day limit, and - the one people care about most - no watermark stamped across the PNG you download. The export is just your board.
Because the list lives in the page, refreshing or closing the tab clears it. Export the PNG when you are happy, and keep that file as your saved copy.
What tier lists are good for
The format took off for ranking game characters and pop culture, but it works for any decision where relative ranking is clearer than a score out of ten. Teams use them to prioritise features or vendors; people use them to compare options, settle friendly arguments, or plan. The value is that dragging things into rows forces a comparison - you are not scoring each item alone, you are asking whether it really sits above or below the ones next to it.
What you give it, and what you get back
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Input | Text or image items. |
| Controls | Drag items between rows; rename, recolour, add and reorder rows. |
| Output | A PNG of the board. |
Issues you may run into
| What you see | Why it happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Board is gone after reload | It is not saved. | Export the PNG before leaving. |
| A list cannot be re-opened | The PNG is not editable. | Keep a text list of items. |
| Images look small | Items are fitted in a row. | Use higher-resolution images. |
Assumptions and limitations
- The list is not saved automatically - it lives in the page. Export the PNG to keep it, since refreshing clears the board.
- It exports a PNG image, not an editable file, so you re-open a saved list by rebuilding it rather than loading the PNG back in.
- Very large images are scaled down to thumbnail size for speed; the export uses those thumbnails, not full-resolution pictures.
- It is a single board. It does not manage multiple saved lists or share links.
- Drag and drop works on touch screens in modern mobile browsers, but a large list is easier to arrange on a bigger screen.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a tier list?
Add items - type a label and press Add, or upload images - then drag each one from the unranked row up into the tier where it belongs. Rename and recolour the rows to suit your list, add or reorder rows if you need to, and press Download PNG to save the finished board.
Can I use images as well as text?
Yes. You can add your own images, which appear as thumbnails you drag into tiers, and plain text labels, or a mix of both. Images are read from your device and never uploaded.
Can I change the tier labels and colours?
Every row is editable. Rename it from the default S, A, B and so on to anything you like, change its colour, add extra rows for a finer ranking, delete rows you do not need, and move rows up or down. Nothing is locked to the default layout.
How do I save or share my tier list?
Press Download PNG to save the board as an image, which you can then post or share anywhere. The list itself is not stored - the PNG is your saved copy, so export it once you are happy with the ranking.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Images are read and shown entirely on your device and never leave it, and the exported PNG has no watermark. There is no account and nothing is sent to a server.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes - you can drag items on a touch screen in a modern mobile browser. That said, arranging a long list with lots of images is more comfortable on a larger screen, where you can see more tiers at once.
