Tier list templates
A tier list template is a ready-made ranking grid that already has the tiers set up and a set of items to sort, so you can start ranking straight away instead of building the list from scratch.
Every template below opens in the tier maker with its items already loaded. Nothing is locked - add your own entries, rename the tiers, or clear it out and start from an empty grid.

Choosing a template
The best template is the one where you already have opinions. A ranking is only interesting when the person making it cares which things end up at the bottom, so pick the category you would argue about rather than the one that looks easiest to fill in.
Size matters too. Fifteen items is enough to make the tiers mean something and few enough that you will finish. Templates here are built at roughly that size deliberately - past about sixty entries most people abandon the list halfway, and an unfinished tier list says nothing at all.
Frequently asked questions

- A tier list template is a ready-made ranking grid that already has the tiers set up and a set of items to sort, so you can start ranking straight away instead of building the list from scratch.
- Are these tier list templates free?
- Yes. Every template opens in the editor with no account and no signup, and the image you export carries no watermark.
- Can I add my own items to a template?
- Yes. Every template is a starting point - you can add text items, upload your own images, rename or recolour the tiers, and remove anything you do not want to rank.
- How do I make a blank tier list instead?
- Open any template and use Reset, or start from the main tier maker and remove the sample items. You will be left with empty S, A, B, C, D and F rows ready for your own entries.
