A classroom layout lets you plan a seating arrangement before you move a single desk — to fit a student count, keep the path to the door clear, or hand a substitute a ready-made map. Describe the room and this free maker draws it to scale in seconds.

Your description becomes a to-scale seating chart: desks in a grid, the teacher area, the board, doors, and windows, sized to fit.

How to lay out a classroom that actually fits
A classroom layout — or seating chart — is a floor plan of a teaching space: the desks, the teacher area, the board, and the room doors and windows, all drawn to scale so you can see what actually fits. Teachers use one to plan a new arrangement before moving heavy furniture, to share a substitute-ready map, or to meet a required student count and a clear path to the exit.
The arrangement you choose shapes how the room works. Rows face the board and suit direct instruction and testing; paired desks and small clusters support group work and discussion; a U-shape (horseshoe) puts every student in the front row for seminars, language classes, and Socratic discussion. Whatever the style, the constraints are the same: leave aisles wide enough to walk and to reach every student (about 0.9 m or 3 ft), keep the route to the door clear for egress, and do not crowd more desks than the floor allows — a typical 32 by 26 ft room seats roughly 25 to 30 students comfortably.
To make a plan, describe the room in plain English: its size, how many desks and in what arrangement, plus the teacher desk, board, and any reading corner, cubbies, or storage. The maker places the desks in a grid for you, draws each door with its swing, and reports the room area so you can confirm it fits. It is free, needs no signup, and you can redraw with a different count or arrangement in seconds — then download the chart as an SVG or PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Is the classroom layout maker free?
Yes — completely free and unlimited, with no signup, no credit card, and no watermark. Make as many seating charts as you need.
How many desks will fit in my room?
Give the room size and a desk count and the maker draws it to scale so you can see if it fits. A typical 32 by 26 ft room seats about 25 to 30 students with walkable aisles.
Can I do rows, groups, or a U-shape?
Yes. Say the arrangement in your description — rows facing the board, small groups or pods for group work, or a U-shaped horseshoe for seminars — and the desks are placed to match.
Can I make a seating chart for a substitute?
Yes — generate the layout, download it as a PNG or SVG, and print it. It shows the desks, teacher area, and board so a sub can find everything.
Do I need design or CAD skills?
No. If you can describe the room and desk count in a sentence, you can make the chart. There is nothing to drag or line up by hand.
