Questions about this tool
What does the Seating Chart Maker do?
You paste your class list and choose how many rows and columns of desks you have. It arranges each student's name into a clean, printable grid, marks any empty seats, and lets you shuffle for a fresh arrangement with one click.
Is it free and private?
Yes. It's completely free, and nothing is saved or uploaded. Your class list stays in your browser and disappears the moment you close or refresh the page.
Any tips for using it well?
Turn on the shuffle option for random test-day seating, or build once and re-shuffle to break up chatty pairs. If some students land without a seat, just add a row or column and rebuild to fit everyone.
