Real answers to real questions.
Yes. Create, customize, and export tier list videos in 720p WebM completely free with all 20 templates and core features. Pro ($4/mo or $39 lifetime) unlocks 1080p, removes the watermark, and bumps AI generation to 30/day.
No account needed to use the tool. We only ask for an email when you export — to send you the download link and occasional updates (you can opt out).
9:16 vertical (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), 16:9 widescreen (YouTube, Twitter), and 1:1 square (Instagram feed). Output is WebM on Free; Pro adds 1080p resolution.
Both export static IMAGES. TierReel is the only tier list maker that exports an animated VIDEO with items flying into tiers — exactly the format that goes viral on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
No. The editor renders entirely in your browser — your images, item names, and tier rankings never touch our server. Even the video export happens locally via the MediaRecorder API.
Yes. The editor supports touch drag-drop with long-press activation. We recommend desktop for heavy editing, but mobile works for quick tier lists and exports.
Absolutely. Videos you create are yours to use however you like — TikTok, YouTube, paid ads, presentations, anywhere. No attribution required (though we appreciate a tag!).
7-day money-back guarantee on Pro. Email support@tierreel.com — no questions asked.
We use Claude Haiku 4.5 with strict cost controls. Type a topic → get 12 popular items as draggable cards. Free tier gets 3 generations per day, Pro gets 30. Popular topics are cached so repeat queries are instant.
Free exports include a small "TierReel.com" watermark in the corner and a 5-second branded outro. Pro removes both, giving you a clean video for client work.
Open the editor and you’ll be exporting a video in minutes.
