Changing seats in a classroom, planning tables for a dinner or mixing people at a workshop is easier when nobody can say the seats were picked on purpose. Paste the names, set the rows and seats per row, and get a random seating chart in one click.
Switch to Groups to split the same list into balanced teams instead. Save the chart as an image to print or post.
How to use
- Paste the names, one per line or separated by commas.
- Choose Seating chart and set rows and seats per row — or choose Groups and set the number of groups.
- Press Assign seats. Empty seats are placed at random when there are more seats than people.
- Save the chart as an image, copy it as text, or share a link.
Why use Deftivo
Fair seats
Names are shuffled with a secure random generator, so the arrangement cannot be steered.
Front marked
The board or front of the room is shown at the top, just like a classroom chart.
Balanced groups
In group mode, group sizes differ by at most one person.
Frequently asked questions
What if there are fewer people than seats?
The remaining seats are marked Empty and spread randomly across the room.
Can I keep the class list for next time?
Yes. The list is saved in this browser automatically, so you only need to press Assign seats next time.
Can I fix someone’s seat?
Not yet. For now, leave that person out of the list, assign the rest and add them by hand.
