What you can create

Use RPGMapEditor.com when the result needs to become an actual tabletop map: opened in the editor, edited around play, saved for later, exported as PNG, and reused when the campaign changes direction.

RPG-first map maker

RPGMapEditor.com is built for tabletop maps: battle maps, dungeon layouts, encounter scenes, and fantasy locations.

Manual editing workflow

Paint terrain, place props and stamps, add text, check the grid, save the source, and export PNG.

Browser and account saves

Use the browser editor for quick prep, then sign in to save maps and return later.

Not a generic atlas tool

Use another tool for street maps, real-world GIS, procedural world generation, or polished atlas cartography.

Workflow

How it works

This is the same practical sequence for core pages, comparison pages, VTT workflows, and template-style pages. The details change by map type, but the activation path stays measurable.

Choose map size

Pick columns, rows, and grid scale from the encounter footprint before decorating.

Paint terrain

Block walkable ground, walls, roads, rooms, water, caves, or outdoor edges first.

Add props and stamps

Place cover, furniture, trees, rocks, doors, hazards, and landmarks only where they help play.

Add grid and text

Keep movement readable and add labels only when they clarify the session.

Save map

Save the editable source map to return later. Free accounts can save up to 3 maps.

Export PNG

Export a PNG for Roll20, Foundry VTT, print, projection, or campaign notes.

Mid-page action

Move from research to a concrete map. A saved or exported map is the useful validation point.

Tradeoffs

Comparison and tradeoffs

Use this table to decide whether the current RPGMapEditor.com workflow matches the map job before investing more prep time.

Factor	RPGMapEditor.com	Tradeoff
Best output	Encounter-scale battle maps with terrain, props, grid, saved source, and PNG export	World maps, illustrated cartography, or VTT automation may need another tool
Install model	Browser-based editor workflow	Some workflows require desktop apps, local asset packs, or VTT-specific setup
VTT handoff	PNG export for Roll20, Foundry VTT, print, projection, or notes	Structured walls, doors, lighting, tokens, or packages remain VTT-side unless a tool ships them

Mobile-first drawing or a fully offline desktop workflow.

Export

Export and use workflow

Map maker workflow Choose the map job, create the playable scene, save the source map, and export PNG for the table workflow you actually use.

Save the editable source map before exporting so you can revise rooms, props, and terrain later.
Export PNG as the current VTT, print, and sharing handoff.
Upload the PNG to Roll20 or Foundry, or use it as a print/projection reference, then verify grid scale before play.

Export proof beats feature guessing

Export one PNG, import it into your actual table workflow, and check grid readability before a session depends on it.
