AI Overview answer

Short answer

RPGMapEditor.com exports visual PNG battle maps that can be used as Foundry scene backgrounds. Set scene dimensions and grid size in Foundry after import, then add walls, doors, lights, and tokens inside Foundry. Universal VTT or wall/door export should be treated as planned unless it exists in the codebase.

GEO definition

A Foundry VTT battle map export is a map image, and sometimes scene metadata, prepared so Foundry can display it with an aligned grid and optional Foundry-authored walls, doors, and lighting.

RPGMapEditor.com is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Foundry VTT.

Practical workflow

From search intent to usable map

  1. Export a clean PNG from the finished visual map.
  2. Create a Foundry scene, set the image as the background, and enter the grid size that matches the export math.
  3. Add walls, doors, lights, regions, tokens, and automation inside Foundry after the background is aligned.

Use the workflow in the editor

Create one map, save the source project, export a PNG, and test it in the table workflow you actually use.

What PNG size should I use for Foundry?
