One clear workflow
Choose a starter, paint the playable spaces, and export the handoff without learning a general illustration suite.
Studio access · RPG Map Editor
Build the map.
Keep the momentum.
RPG Map Editor is a focused Studio workspace for encounter-ready maps. Subscribe once and keep your campaign library, pixel-art tiles, and clean exports in the same place.
01 Browser-first
02 Pixel-clear
03 VTT-ready
Why this workspace
Made for the five minutes
before game night.
Pixel art with purpose
Grid-aware tiles, readable props, and layered terrain keep movement, cover, and chokepoints legible at the table.
Files that stay yours
Keep a crisp PNG beside an editable project JSON so a map can move from campaign prep to VTT or print.
Campaign scale
Unlimited cloud maps and public links make it easy to keep variants, backups, and player-facing versions together.
A deliberate alternative
Why creators choose
RPG Map Editor.
Other tools are excellent at their own jobs. Studio is built for a narrower moment: a playable, polished encounter map that needs to be ready now.

INKARNATE
Broad world-building suite
Inkarnate offers world, region, city, and battle map styles with large art libraries. Its published Free plan is limited to 3 maps and 2K exports; Studio adds higher resolution and commercial use.
Studio difference: fewer decisions, faster encounter prep, and a pixel-first visual system.
DUNGEON ALCHEMIST
Desktop procedural depth
Dungeon Alchemist is a Steam desktop app with procedural 2D/3D mapmaking and a large object library. It is a strong choice when you want generated rooms and a native workflow.
Studio difference: open a tab, keep the source in the cloud, and hand off a lightweight PNG.
DUNGEON SCRAWL
Free sketching at speed
Dungeon Scrawl keeps core mapmaking free, while Pro adds cloud library, autosave, high-resolution export, and commercial rights.
Studio difference: a paid-only, polished pixel-art workspace with campaign storage included from the first map.
WONDERDRAFT
Offline world maps
Wonderdraft is a $29.99 one-time purchase for Windows, macOS, and Linux with offline, DRM-free use and a strong world-map focus.
Studio difference: no install or device lock-in, plus cloud saves and share links for active campaigns.
Your next session has a shape.
