To make a tier list on your phone, open a browser-based maker — no App Store or Google Play download, no sign-up. Add your items, tap or drag each tile into a tier, and export the finished board as a PNG straight to your camera roll. Autosave keeps everything in your browser, so closing the tab loses nothing.
You don’t need an app to make a tier list on your phone. Our maker runs right in your mobile browser — here’s how to rank and export on the go.
Because the tier list maker is a website, there is nothing to install. Open it in Safari, Chrome or any mobile browser and you are ready to go. It is free, with no login, and your board is saved in the browser so it survives closing the tab.
The same goes for iPad and Android tablets — a web app doesn’t care what it’s running on, so iOS and Android get the identical maker. Want it to feel installed? Use your browser’s Add to Home Screen option (Share menu in Safari, three-dot menu in Chrome) and it launches from your home screen with its own icon — zero storage used, nothing from the Play Store.
Tap Add items and paste or type your list — one item per line. For an image tier list, tap to upload photos straight from your camera roll. Everything lands in the tray, ready to rank.
That upload picker pulls straight from your photo library, so screenshots and saved gallery images work as well as anything — and you can select several at once. Files are read on the phone itself; nothing gets sent to a server while you build. For text items, copy a list from your notes or clipboard and paste it in one go — each line becomes its own tile. Stuck for clean art? A quick image search for “[character] png” turns up transparent cutouts that look sharp in any tier.
Drag tiles up into the tiers with your finger, just like on desktop. Use Customize to rename and recolor tiers, then tap Export PNG to save the finished tier list to your photos — ready to post or drop in a group chat. Tip: rotate to landscape for more room while you arrange items.
Dragging isn’t the only touch input, either — tap Select, tap the tiles you want, then tap a tier in the bar that pops up, and they snap into place. On a small screen in portrait orientation that’s often quicker than a long drag. Undo and redo cover any tile that lands wrong, and autosave writes every change as you go. The PNG file is lossless, so your list stays high-quality after Discord, Reddit, or any social media feed re-compresses it — save it to photos and post it anywhere from the share sheet. There’s a video option too: a vertical 9:16 MP4 tier reveal built for Stories and TikTok. Our sharing guide walks through both formats.
Ranking mobile games? The preset Brawl Stars and Pokémon GO boards come with rosters already loaded, so you skip the upload step entirely.
The maker was built mobile-friendly rather than shrunk down after the fact. The layout is responsive — the tier grid reflows to fit a small screen instead of forcing you to pinch-zoom a desktop page — and touch is a first-class input, not a mouse substitute. Multi-select works with a fingertip, so you can grab a handful of items on a touchscreen and move them all with one tap.
Where a laptop still wins: bulk work. A mouse is pointer-based and precise, so uploading forty images and fine-sorting a crowded B tier goes faster on desktop. The board itself works on any device — and if you rough out a ranking on your phone during a commute, send yourself the share link to finish later. The whole board travels inside the URL, no account needed.
Search the App Store or Google Play and you’ll find the official TierMaker app for iPhone and Android. As of its listing, it starts with a free trial, then asks for a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase — the in-app purchase model that pays for its ad-free experience, higher resolution downloads, custom tier list sizing, and quick-vote features. If you build tier lists daily, that trade might make sense.
For everyone else, an app download solves a problem the browser already solved. A simple, customizable tier list maker doesn’t need installing: this one gives you unlimited tiers, editable names and colors, and exports you can keep watermark-free — the watermark line is text you control, so rewrite it or hide it. No trial clock attached. Comparing tools properly? Our best tier list makers guide covers the field, and free vs paid tier list makers breaks down what paid apps actually gate.
You don’t need one — our maker runs in any mobile browser, so you can make and export a tier list without installing anything.
Yes. It works the same on both — open the site, drag to rank, and export an image to your camera roll.
No. It is completely free on phone and desktop, with no account and no watermark.
Honestly, no app at all — a browser maker does the same job free on any phone. We compare the top options in our best tier list makers guide.
The one most people mean is TierMaker, which has an official iPhone and Android app. You don’t need it to make a tier list, though — this maker runs free in any mobile browser, with nothing to install and no account. Ranking, customizing, and exporting all work the same on a phone as on desktop.
As of its listing, yes eventually: it starts with a free trial, then asks for a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase to keep using it ad-free. Our maker has no paid tier at all — ranking, custom tiers, PNG export, and video export are free in the browser, on mobile and desktop alike.
Yes. Sign-up does not exist here — there are no accounts at all. Your board autosaves to the browser on every change, and the My Lists page keeps track of the boards on your device. To move a list somewhere else, use the share link: the board rides along inside the link itself, apart from photos you uploaded, which stay on the phone.
Usually, yes. It’s an ordinary website, not an app-store download, so device policies that block installs don’t apply — if the network’s web filter lets the site load, everything runs in your browser from there. If a filter does block it, that’s set by your network admin, not something the site can route around.
