A seating chart is the cheapest classroom management there is. It costs one minute at the start of a term and it settles arguments that would otherwise be had out loud, in front of everybody, on a Tuesday afternoon.
Start in rows while you are still learning who is who. Add a keep-apart rule for the two who cannot be trusted next to each other, and the arrangement works around it every time you reshuffle, so you never have to hold it in your head. Once you know the class, move to pods and see which groups actually work.
Print it and leave a copy on the desk. A supply teacher who has never met your class can run the room from a sheet of paper with names in the right places, and that one sheet is the difference between a lost lesson and an ordinary one. Nothing you type leaves the computer.

Ways to use it
Rows for the first week
Start in rows while you learn who is who, then move to pods once you know which groups work.
Keep the wrong pairs apart
Two names, one rule, and the arrangement works around it. It is quicker than remembering it every time you reshuffle.
A chart for the supply teacher
Print it and leave it on the desk. A stranger can run your room from it without knowing a single face.
Reshuffle every half term
Press shuffle and the room is rearranged in a second, with every rule you set still honored.
Questions
Is this classroom seating chart maker free?+
Yes, completely free, with no account, no class size limit and no watermark. Print as many as you like.
Do student names leave the device?+
No. The arranging and the PDF both happen in your browser. There is no account and no upload, which matters more for a class list than for most things.
Can I import my class list?+
Yes. Paste it straight from your spreadsheet or import a CSV. The first column is the name and anything else is kept but ignored.
Can I keep two students apart?+
Yes. Add a keep-apart rule and they will not be seated next to each other, or at the same pod if you are using tables. Keep-together does the opposite.
Which layout should I use?+
Rows for whole-class teaching and tests, pairs for talk partners, pods of four or six for group work, and a U-shape for discussion.
