Tier List Maker

Tier List Maker is a browser-based tool for sorting games, characters, food, brands, and other topics into custom-ranked rows. It suits people who want to make and export a tier list without creating an account. Its flexible board and free exports make it a practical pick for casual rankings, though browser-based autosave may not suit people who want their lists stored online.

Overview

The core workflow is straightforward: choose a template or start a list, add images or use text, then move items into position. Desktop, tablet, and mobile users can drag items between tiers and reorder them within a row. That makes it useful for quick personal rankings and shareable visual lists, while the customization gives creators room to tailor the board to a topic.

Lists autosave in the browser, including after a page refresh, and the maker says list content is not uploaded to a server. That combination is appealing for people who want to work without an account. It also means the stated saving method is tied to the browser, rather than an online account that can be accessed across devices.

Key features

Image mode accepts PNG, JPG, and WEBP files, including images pasted from the clipboard; text-only mode is available when pictures are unnecessary. Users can rename tiers, change their colors, add or remove rows, and edit the board title. Five item shapes—square, landscape, portrait, wide, and round—help accommodate different images.

Templates arrive with items already loaded, and users can edit, add, or remove them. This can shorten setup for familiar ranking topics, while a custom board supports more personal lists. Finished boards can be exported as PNG or JPG, which is useful for sharing an image outside the maker.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited tier lists, no account, no ads, no watermark, and PNG/JPG export. Custom tier labels and images are supported. There is no free trial because the product is free. With no account requirement and no stated list cap, the plan fits occasional users as well as people making many lists.

The trade-off is that lists autosave in the browser. People who need account-based access to their work across devices may prefer a different tool. The maker is a browser-based service, so its free plan is best understood as a no-cost way to create and export lists rather than a paid collaboration or account-storage offering.

Platforms

Tier List Maker is browser-based and lists macOS, Windows, and web among its platforms. Its drag-and-drop controls are described as working on desktop, tablet, and mobile. The platform list does not include dedicated Android or iOS apps.

Who it's for

This is a good fit for people ranking gaming, anime, movies, food, sports, brands, or other subjects who want control over tier labels and board appearance. Templates help when a ready-made starting point is useful; text mode works for lists that do not need image assets. It is less suited to anyone who needs account-based storage or dedicated mobile apps.

Pros and cons

• Unlimited lists and exports at no cost: the Free plan has no stated list cap and exports PNG and JPG without a watermark.
• Flexible board editing: custom labels, colors, rows, title, and item shapes support more than a fixed ranking layout.
• Two ways to build: image and text modes suit both visual rankings and simpler lists.
• Browser autosave: refreshes retain work, but saving is described as browser-based rather than tied to an account.
• No dedicated mobile apps in the platform list: mobile use is described through the browser experience.

Verdict

Choose Tier List Maker if you want a no-cost, account-free browser tool with editable tiers, image and text modes, templates, and watermark-free exports. The main reason to look elsewhere is the browser-based saving model or a need for dedicated mobile apps; several alternatives offer Android or iOS versions, and TierMaker also offers a free trial.
