Seating chart maker questions
Last updated November 11, 2026.
Is this seating chart maker free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no account. Paste your guest list, add tables, drag guests to their seats and print the chart. It works in any modern browser on a computer, tablet or phone, including Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Android.
Where is my seating chart saved?
Only in this browser, on this device. Nothing you type is uploaded. Come back in the same browser and your chart is still there; clearing your browser's site data deletes it. The one exception is Continue on iPhone: it uploads the names and tables once, to make a private link that expires after 7 days.
How do I move my chart to my iPhone?
Tap Continue on iPhone and scan the QR code with your iPhone's camera, or send yourself the link. The page that opens has the Headtable app and a CSV of your chart: in Headtable open Guests, tap + and choose Import CSV file. Every guest and household comes across, and guests keep their seats at tables with the same names in the app.
Can I paste my guest list from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Copy the cells with their header row and paste them in. A Name column, or First Name and Last Name, becomes the guest; a Household (or Party or Family) column keeps people together; a Table column seats them at that table. Our free guest list template has these columns already. A plain list with one name per line works too, and "Ann & Ben Lee" adds two guests from one household.
How many guests and tables can I add?
Up to 600 guests and 80 tables, with 1 to 30 seats per table. Round tables start at 8 seats and banquet tables at 10.
What does the Headtable app add?
Headtable is a seating chart app for iPhone and iPad.

It's free for your whole guest list and up to 50 seated guests; Headtable Pro, a one-time purchase, seats everyone.
