Fit
Best for / Not best for
Best for
DMs and GMs who want a browser-first RPGMapEditor workflow: create a DnD or TTRPG battle map, save the source project, export a PNG, and validate the grid in Roll20, Foundry VTT, print, or another play surface.
Not best for
Native Roll20 dynamic lighting export, native Foundry scene JSON, wall and door automation, token export, or broad world-atlas illustration. Those platform-specific steps stay inside the VTT.
