About Rubric Maker
Rubric Maker is a free online tool that helps teachers and educators build, customize, and export grading rubrics for any subject or grade level. You can start from a ready-made template, generate a rubric with AI, or build your own from scratch — then export a clean, print-ready PDF or an editable Word document to hand out or upload to your LMS.
The goal is simple: make fair, transparent grading faster. A good rubric sets clear expectations before an assignment and keeps scoring consistent afterward. Rubric Maker takes the busywork out of creating one so you can spend your time teaching, not formatting tables.
Who makes Rubric Maker
Rubric Maker is an independent project built and maintained by Minh Phan, a sole trader based in Australia. It started as a way to make rubric creation quick and painless, and it keeps growing based on feedback from the teachers who use it.
What you can do
- Build analytic, single-point, and weighted rubrics with as many criteria and levels as you need;
- Start from 50+ ready-to-use templates across English, writing, math, science, social studies, the arts, and more;
- Generate a full first draft with AI from a short description of your assignment;
- Export to print-ready PDF or editable DOCX (Word);
- Save rubrics to a free account and share them as read-only links.
Why it’s free
The rubric builder is free for everyone, with no signup required. A free account removes the export watermark and unlocks AI generation (with a fair-use limit). To keep the core tool free, some content pages show ads. You can read how we handle data in our Privacy Policy.
Our approach to privacy
We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics and we do not sell your personal information. If you build rubrics without an account, they’re stored only in your browser. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
