FAQ

Common questions

What is RPG Map Editor?

RPG Map Editor is a browser-based battle map maker for Dungeon Masters and TTRPG players. It helps you create grid-based maps with terrain and props, export PNG files for tabletop or VTT play, and prepare playable encounters for D&D, Pathfinder, Roll20, Foundry VTT, or print.

Is RPG Map Editor free to try?

Yes. Create a free account for browser editing, up to three saved maps, core editor tools, PNG export, and forum access. Studio is optional when you need more saves or share links.

Can I use RPG Map Editor for D&D battle maps?

Yes. The editor is built for grid-based encounter maps: paint terrain, place props, align a tactical grid, and export PNG files sized for your table or virtual tabletop.

Does RPG Map Editor work with Roll20?

Yes for image-based maps. Export a PNG from the editor, upload it to Roll20, and align Roll20’s grid to the artwork. RPG Map Editor does not upload directly to Roll20 or export Roll20 dynamic lighting, walls, or doors.

Does RPG Map Editor work with Foundry VTT?

Yes for scene backgrounds. Export a PNG, import it into a Foundry scene, then set grid size and origin in Foundry. Native Foundry scene JSON, walls, doors, and lighting export are not shipped from the map editor.

Can I export maps as PNG files?

Yes. PNG export is the primary handoff for VTT upload, print reference, and sharing still images. Verify grid scale inside your VTT after import.

Which game engines does RPG Map Editor export to?

The editor includes experimental starter bundle exports for Unity, Godot, Cocos, Phaser, GDevelop, Bevy, LOVE 2D, Defold, and Flame. These exports are independent workflow helpers and do not imply endorsement by the engine teams.

Does RPG Map Editor support walls, doors, and lighting export?

No. Walls, doors, dynamic lighting, and fog are configured inside Roll20 or Foundry after you import the PNG. The editor focuses on the visual battle map.

Is RPG Map Editor browser-based?

Yes. The shipped workflow runs in a modern desktop browser with WebGL2—no separate native map app install for editing and export.

How is RPG Map Editor different from Inkarnate?

RPG Map Editor focuses on fast encounter-scale battle maps, terrain, stamps, saves, and PNG export in the browser. Inkarnate is often stronger for illustrated world and regional cartography with a larger asset ecosystem—see the Inkarnate alternative page for an honest comparison.

Who is RPG Map Editor for?

Dungeon Masters and game masters who need playable tactical maps for D&D-style and other grid-based TTRPGs—especially when you want browser prep, saved maps, and PNG handoff for Roll20, Foundry, or in-person play.
