How does the Grading Rubric Builder work?

Generate a printable grading rubric PDF from a simple criterion list and a set of performance levels (Exemplary / Proficient / Developing / Beginning by default — customise to your school's scale). The output is a landscape grid: criteria down the left, weight column, then one column per performance level. Print, fill in scores by hand or scan and annotate digitally. Total-weight check tells you if your weights sum to 100% so you do not accidentally publish an under-weighted rubric.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

Not in v1 — cells are blank for hand-scoring. A descriptor-per-cell version (so you have language for what each level looks like) is on the roadmap.
