Seating Chart Maker

How to make a classroom seating chart

A seating chart maker takes the politics out of where everyone sits: the shuffle is random, so no one can complain about favoritism. This one is free, needs no sign-up, and your class list never leaves your browser.

1. Paste your class list — one student name per line. Blank lines are skipped and duplicates are seated only once.
2. Set rows and columns to match your classroom layout. Fewer names than seats? The leftover seats show as "Empty".
3. Press Generate for a fair, random arrangement. Don't like it? Press Generate again for a fresh shuffle.
4. Click two seats to swap — move a student into an empty spot, or separate two chatty neighbors, without re-rolling the whole chart.
5. Print the chart for your desk or the classroom door.

When names outnumber seats

If your class is bigger than the grid, a warning names the overflow and the extra students stay unseated. Add a row or column (or trim the list) and press Generate again — the grid always matches the dimensions you set.
