How It Works
RankAnything lets anyone create a visual drag-and-drop ranking poll for free. No account required, for you or your voters.
Add your options
Give each option a name and optionally upload an image. Images make polls more visual and engaging, great for characters, products, foods, or anything with a recognizable look.
Set your ranking labels
Define what rank #1 means in your poll. "Hardest to beat", "Most overrated", "All-time favorite", whatever fits your question. You can also set how many options each voter can rank.
Preview and publish
See exactly what your poll will look like before it goes live. When you're happy, publish it and get a shareable link instantly.
Share it anywhere
Post the link on Reddit, Discord, Twitter, or wherever your community lives. Anyone can vote without signing up.
Watch results update live
As votes come in, the community ranking updates in real time. You can see exactly where the consensus is forming.
Open the poll link
No account, no sign-up. Just open the link and you're ready to vote.
Drag or click to rank
Click options to add them to your ranking, then drag them into order. On mobile, tap to add and hold to reorder.
Submit and see results
Hit submit and instantly see how your ranking compares to the rest of the community. Changed your mind? You can update your vote, unless the creator has chosen to lock votes in.
Is RankAnything really free?
Yes. Creating polls, voting, and viewing results are all free with no limits.
Do voters need an account?
No. Anyone with the link can vote without signing up. A creator can choose to ask voters for an email on a poll with real stakes, like a prize, but that is off by default.
How many options can a poll have?
As many as you want. There's no cap on the number of options.
Can I use images in my poll?
Yes. You can upload images for each option or paste an image URL. Images make polls significantly more engaging.
How does the ranking work?
A weighted scoring system. Options ranked higher by more voters rise to the top. Voters can rank a subset of options, so they don't have to rank everything.
Who runs RankAnything?
One person, on their own. There is no company, no team and no investors behind it. That means the site stays free and ad-light, but it also means replies to messages can take a few days.
Can I edit my poll after publishing?
Yes, within 24 hours of creating it, using the private manage link you got when you published. Hiding or deleting the poll works at any time, not just the first day. After the 24 hours, send a note through the contact page and I can make an edit for you.
Why can I not see the results?
Results show once you have voted, and the site remembers that per browser, not per person. If you open the poll on a different device or browser, you will see the voting screen again. Please do not vote a second time there, it would count as a new voter. Go back to the browser you voted in, or ask the poll creator to turn on the option that lets people see results before voting. If it is your own poll, open your manage link: its Results tab shows the current ranking without voting.
Can someone vote more than once?
On a normal poll, yes, if they go out of their way to. Voters do not have accounts, so the site can only remember a vote per browser, and a second browser or a private window looks like a new person. I cannot close that gap without asking voters for something that identifies them, and for most polls I would rather keep voting open to everyone. If your poll has real stakes, like a prize, turn on "Require an email to vote" in the Security section when you create or edit it. Each email address can then vote once. Strict mode, in the same section, also refuses a second vote from the same connection or device, at the cost of turning away people who share wifi.
I lost the link to manage my poll. What now?
Use the "Lost your manage link?" form on the contact page. Enter the email you created the poll with and the link is sent to that address again. With it you can see the results, hide or delete the poll at any time, and edit it within the first 24 hours.
What kinds of things can I rank?
Anything. Games, movies, TV shows, sports, food, music, books, products. If people have opinions about it, you can rank it.
