How do I create a seating chart?

Type or paste student names one per line, choose the number of rows and columns, then press Generate seating chart to get a randomized layout.

Can I reshuffle the seats?

Yes. Press Shuffle seats to randomize the chart again, or choose Alphabetical order to sort the names from A to Z.

Tick the Absent box next to a name in the student list and that student is excluded from the next generated chart.

Yes. Your name list is saved in your browser using localStorage and loads automatically the next time you open the tool.
