Seating Chart Maker
Mix single desks, pairs and tables, move anything, randomize seats and print.
Class list
Preferential seating
Front row, near the door, away from a friend — place those students first and the randomizer works around them.
Tap a name, then tap the seat they need. Locked seats keep their student when you randomize.
Start from a layout
Every layout is built big enough for the whole class list.

Start by choosing a layout preset or drag your first desk into the room.
Presets are built to fit your whole class list — 24 students right now.
How to use it
- 1Start from a layout, or pick Blank room and add only the desks and tables your room actually has.
- 2Paste your class list or choose a saved roster — seats fill from the names in that panel.
- 3Drag any desk, table or the teacher desk to move it. Nudge and resize the selected one in the panel.
- 4Randomize to fill seats. Tap one seat then another to swap the two students — both ends lock so the next randomize leaves them alone.
- 5Preferential seating: pick a student, then tap the seat they need. Anyone already there swaps into the seat they came from.
- 6Tap the padlock on a seat to lock or unlock it yourself.
- 7On a phone or tablet, tap a desk and use the arrow buttons in the Selected desk panel — dragging works best on a computer.
