How to Use RankIt

What is RankIt?

RankIt lets you create ranked lists and tier lists for anything — movies, games, characters, music, food, or whatever you want to rank. Add your own entries, drag them into tiers or numbered positions, write explanations for your picks, and publish shareable lists for the world to see.

Create a Ranking

1. Choose Tier List (S/A/B/C/D/F tiers) or Rankings List (numbered positions).
2. Add entries manually by typing names, or browse the Public Library for starter packs.
3. Drag entries from the pool into tiers or ranking positions.
4. Tap an entry to add an explanation for your pick.
5. Customize tier labels and colors to make it your own.

Guest Mode

You can start creating a ranking without signing in. Add entries, drag them into tiers, and explore the creator freely.

You can publish rankings without signing in. Sign in to save drafts, edit published rankings, and manage your lists.

Starter Packs & Public Library

Browse admin-curated starter packs in the Public Library. These pre-made entry sets help you start rankings faster — pick a category and start ranking immediately. You can also add individual entries from the public library directly to your ranking pool.

Drafts

Signed-in users can save drafts at any time. Come back later to continue editing, rearrange entries, or add more explanations before publishing.

Publishing

When you're ready, publish your ranking to get a shareable link. Published rankings can be viewed by anyone without signing in. You can unpublish, edit, and re-publish at any time.

Make Your Version

See a published ranking you like? Click “Make Your Version” to create your own ranking using the same entries. You'll start fresh with empty tiers — write your own explanations and arrange entries your way.

Images

Images are optional but recommended. Upload an image for any entry to make your lists look polished. If an image is missing or fails to load, a clean placeholder is shown instead.

Customize Your Tiers

Don't settle for plain S/A/B/C/D/F. Double-click any tier label to rename it, add new tiers, reorder them, or remove ones you don't need. Pick a custom color for each tier using the color picker — make your list look exactly how you want it.

Explanations & Links

Tap any placed entry to add an explanation — tell people why you ranked it where you did. Drop a YouTube link, an article, or any URL and it'll auto-link so viewers can click through.

Sharing & Privacy

Hit Share to copy your ranking's link (or use native share on mobile). By default, published lists are public. Toggle a list to private if you want to keep it just for yourself — only you can see private rankings.

Export as Image

Download any published ranking as a shareable PNG image. Hit the “Download Image” button on any public ranking to get a clean, self-contained image with your tiers or ranks, entry images, names, and RankIt branding. Perfect for sharing on social media, Discord, or group chats. The image adapts to your content — wide for big tier lists, compact for short ranked lists.

Edit & Re-Publish

Changed your mind? Edit a published ranking from My Published Lists, rearrange entries, update explanations, then re-publish. Your link stays the same — viewers always see your latest version.
