I teach the same set of students in various classrooms throughout the week. The beauty of the Seating Chart Maker for me lies in its ability to utilize the same student list to form multiple seating arrangements for different rooms.

Step 1.

Set up available seats

Create the layout of your room. Pick chair and desk styles. Rotate and place them freely with familiar features like drag & drop and an automatic snap guide.

Step 2.

Create or import a roster

Seating Chart Maker supports importing a list of names from most applications and spreadsheets with copy and paste (no need to export and import files!). In this phase, you can easily set up groups of students that should be, e.g., kept separated, together, or in front of the classroom in an automatically generated chart.

Step 3.

Generate a seating chart

Automatically generate a seating chart, tweak it if you like, and print it. You can easily edit your existing charts or create new charts later with the same roster and room. You can also create new combinations if you, for example, teach multiple groups in the same room.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the trial?
In your 7-day free trial, you can create one room, one roster, and one seating chart. You can print your seating chart as needed, though prints will include a watermark during the trial period.
Are there organizational/business/team plans available?
Yes, we do offer team plans that allow multiple users and shared resources. If you're interested, please get in touch with us.
How can I import a student list? What formats are supported?
You have two convenient options for importing rosters:
  1. Direct Upload: Easily upload your roster directly using common spreadsheet formats like CSV or Excel.
  2. Copy & Paste: Alternatively, copy and paste a list of names into our input field. Seating Chart Maker will automatically detect separator characters such as newlines and commas.

After importing, you can easily modify the name format and add student photos. For the copy & paste method, if you cannot copy directly from your source, you may want to export your data to a CSV, Excel, or similar format before copying.

Can I create a chart manually?
Absolutely! You can modify the automatically created chart or start from scratch to place students manually.
How do I add a student photo?
You can add student photos to your roster by uploading them directly from your computer. Just click the avatar icon next to the student's name in the roster view to upload a photo.
Can I pause my subscription? I only need to create seating plans at the beginning of a new period.

We don't offer a pause feature, but you can cancel and restart your subscription anytime. Don't worry about losing your data; we keep it safe for 12 months after you unsubscribe. This means you can come back and continue where you left off, with all your seating plans and data ready for your next period.

Do I need to install anything? What are the system requirements for Seating Chart Maker?

No installation is required. Seating Chart Maker is a web-based application that works in any modern web browser. This includes Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. It also works on mobile devices and tablets, although we recommend using a desktop or laptop for the best experience.

Can I create multiple seating charts for the same room and student list?
Yes, you can. You have the option to reuse room and roster data to create different seating charts. For example, you can use a single room template to create seating charts for multiple classes.
What export options does Seating Chart Maker offer for my seating charts and empty room templates?
Seating Chart Maker allows you to export your seating charts and room templates in a variety of formats. This includes PDF for easy printing and distribution, and image formats for convenient digital display and sharing.
Can I print the seating plans? Can I present them from my computer? Can I flip the perspective when printing or presenting?

Yes, you can print your seating plans or room templates. Seating Chart Maker allows you to export these to PDF in common paper sizes (like Letter and A4) for easy printing. You can also export to image formats for digital display, sharing, or custom printing.

When presenting from your computer, you can use the built-in full-screen mode from the app to display your seating chart.

You can also flip the perspective between teacher and student perspective when viewing, presenting or printing. This is useful for teachers who want to present seating charts to students from their own point of view. All names and labels will remain readable and oriented in the correct direction.

I can not access my account. What should I do?
