How to make a tier list on Discord

By Farasat Abbas Naqvi·Updated July 2026

Discord does not build tier lists itself, but it is where a lot of them get made and argued over. Here is how to create one and share it to your server — with or without a bot.

Can you make a tier list on Discord?

Discord has no built-in tier list feature — but it is one of the most popular places to make and argue over them. There are two practical routes: build the board in a tier list maker and post it, or use a tier list bot. For almost everyone, the first route is faster, cleaner and more flexible.

Option 1: make it in a maker and share it (recommended)

This is the quickest way to get a great-looking board into your server:

  1. Open a free tier list maker in your browser — no login needed.
  2. Add your items: paste a list of names, or upload images to rank pictures.
  3. Drag each item into a tier from S to D and tweak the rows if you like.
  4. Click Export PNG for a clean image, or Copy link to share an editable board.
  5. Drag the PNG into your Discord channel, or paste the link, and hit send.

Posting the PNG gives everyone a crisp image; pasting a share link lets friends open the board and make their own version. For all the sharing options, see how to share and export a tier list.

Option 2: tier list bots

Some Discord bots and tier list generators let you build a rough board with chat commands. They can work for quick, text-only rankings, but there are trade-offs: you have to invite the bot and grant permissions, customization is limited, image support is patchy, and third-party bots go offline more often than you would like. If you want a polished board — especially with images — a dedicated maker is the safer bet.

👥 Make it a group activity

Ranking together is half the fun. Share a board link, let everyone drag their picks, and settle the debate live in voice chat — see our guide to making a tier list with friends.

Sharing a tier list on your Discord server

A few ways to get the most out of it: post the PNG so it renders inline, pin the message so the ranking stays visible, or drop a share link in an events channel and let the server remix it. It is a reliable way to spark discussion — tier lists are built for disagreement. For collaborative ranking ideas, see how to make a tier list with friends.

Make one for your server

Rank it, export a clean PNG or grab a share link, and drop it in your channel — free, no login, no bot setup.
