Start a tier list
Browse community templates by subject, or open a blank board with S through F already labeled. Either path lands in the same editor: add your own pictures or text, drag them into the rows, then export or publish.
Popular topics
Maker pages for the long-tail boards people search for by name. Subjects with an official template (candy, soda, fast food and the rest of the food aisle) open on that template, ready to rank; catalogs such as flags and the 32 NFL names open with the items already loaded. High-IP topics still start blank.
How to make a tier list
- Open a blank board. A new list arrives with six tiers already labeled S, A, B, C, D and F. Every one of them can be renamed, recolored, dragged into a different order or deleted, and you can add as many extra rows as the ranking needs. Nothing has to be decided up front: the tiers are as easy to change at the end as at the start.
- Add what you are ranking. Upload a batch of images in one go, or add text entries and give each one its own background and text color. Everything you add lands in the unranked pool under the board, ready to be placed, and each entry can carry a label and a short description of its own.
- Drag the entries into tiers. Drag with a mouse, or press and hold on a phone and the item follows your finger while the board scrolls at the edges. Tapping an entry and then tapping a row works too, and a long press starts a multi-select so a whole handful moves at once.
- Export it or publish it. Export the board as a PNG to post wherever you like, or publish it here to get a link and a page of its own. The export needs no account; publishing needs one, and you can sign in at that point without losing the board you just made. A published list stays yours: it can be edited afterwards, or taken down again, from its own page.
What you can do
- Rank with pictures, with text, or with both: upload images in bulk, or type entries and color each one individually.
- Six tiers to start, S down to F, with any label, any color, any order, and as many extra rows as you want.
- No sign up. The editor opens on a blank board and the draft is kept in this browser until you publish it or clear it.
- Works on a phone. Press and hold to lift an entry, drag it where it belongs, and the board scrolls under your finger as you reach the edge.
- Tap to place instead of dragging: tap an entry, then tap the tier it goes in.
- Move a group at once, using a long press or a marquee drag across several items, then place or delete the whole selection.
- Keep the unranked pool above or below the board while you work, and leave it out of the exported picture once everything has a home.
- Set the background color or image, the borders, the highlight color and whether labels show at all.
- Undo and redo cover the last fifty changes, and a whole drag counts as one, so a slip of the finger is never a disaster.
- Export a full size PNG, JPEG or PDF straight from the browser, with nothing stamped across the chart and nothing held back for a paid tier.
Make your own tier list
Games and characters
Rank a roster, a class list, every weapon in a game or every character in a show. Image tiers are the natural fit here: upload the portraits once and the whole argument becomes one picture.
Music, film and television
Albums, singles, seasons, episodes, directors. A tier list settles the "best to worst" question faster than a numbered list because the middle of the ranking stops mattering.
Food and drink arguments
Crisps, cereals, takeaway orders, biscuits, fast food chains. These spread further than almost anything else because everybody has an opinion and nobody agrees.
People you actually know
Friends, teammates, group chat members, colleagues. Text entries with their own colors are enough here, and the tier labels can be renamed to something kinder than F.
Work, study and hobbies
Rank tools, subjects, plants, running shoes, board games or anything else you keep comparing. Publishing it gives you a link to drop into a thread instead of retyping the same opinion, and the descriptions under each entry are enough room to justify the placings.
Sport and the arguments around it
Squads, kits, stadiums, pundits, whole seasons. Sport lists get remixed more than most, because the disagreement is the point and anyone who opens a published list can move the entries into their own order.
Common questions
Do I need an account to make a tier list?
Not to make one. The editor opens straight into a blank board, and adding images, ranking them and exporting the result all work without signing in. Publishing is the one action that needs an account, because a published list is a public page with a name on it. Sign in at that point and the board you were working on comes with you, and your published charts follow you between devices from then on.
Do exported tier lists have a watermark?
Nothing is drawn over your board. The downloaded image carries the site address, tiermaps.com, in small type in the bottom corner of the picture, and that is the only mark on the file. The image on a published chart page carries no mark at all.
Can I use my own images?
Yes, and you can select a batch of them in one go rather than adding them one at a time. Each image arrives labeled with its file name, and every item can carry a label and a short description, which show with the item on the finished board.
Can I make a text only tier list?
Yes. Add text entries instead of images and pick a background and text color for each one. It is the quicker option for ranking ideas, opinions or people, it stays readable at phone size, and it keeps the exported picture small enough to post anywhere.
Can I start from a template, or from a list somebody else made?
Yes. Anything published here can be opened as your own copy with the entries already in place, which is how most people make their version of a list they disagree with. The copy is a new chart of your own: editing it never changes the original.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The drag handling is the same code that shipped in the Reddit app it came from: press and hold to lift an item, drag to move it, and the board auto scrolls while you hold near an edge. Tap to place is there for anyone who would rather not drag at all.
What do S, A, B, C, D and F mean?
S sits above A and marks the entries in a class of their own; the letters below it run in ordinary school grade order down to F for the worst. It is a convention, not a rule, and renaming the rows to anything you prefer takes one tap.
Can other people see my tier list?
Only if you publish it. Until then the draft lives in your browser and nobody else can reach it. Publishing gives the chart a page and a link, adds it to the public tier list feed, and lets other people open it as the starting point for their own version. Unpublishing it later takes two taps from the same page.
