What is Seating Chart Generator?
Seating Chart Generator is a free web tool for creating seating charts.

The app runs in the browser, requires no sign-up, and is available at seatingchartgenerator.app.
Key Features
- Drag and drop seating: Move guests between tables and seats by dragging; the canvas is fully interactive with keyboard support (space to pick up, arrow keys to move, space to drop).
- Auto assign guests: Paste your whole guest list and the generator fills tables automatically, ready for manual fine-tuning.
- High-resolution export: Download the finished chart as a crisp PNG or print-ready PDF.
- Multiple event layouts: Round tables, long banquet tables, head tables, U-shape arrangements, and classroom desk rows are supported.
- Guest list management: Add guests one by one or paste a list; rename or remove guests without losing their assigned seats.
- One-click auto assign: Distribute guests across tables evenly with a single action, then adjust individual seats.
- Private by design: All processing happens in the browser; the guest list never leaves the device and no server upload occurs.
