In both editions
Made for the five minutes
before game night.
01One clear workflow
Choose a starter, paint the playable spaces, and export the handoff without learning a general illustration suite.
02Pixel art with purpose
Grid-aware tiles, readable props, and layered terrain keep movement, cover, and chokepoints legible at the table.
03Files that stay yours
Keep a crisp PNG beside an editable project file so a map can move from campaign prep to VTT or print.
04Bring your own art
Import your own tilesets alongside the bundled packs. Your artwork travels with the project.
A deliberate alternative
Why creators choose
RPG Map Editor.
Other tools are excellent at their own jobs. RPG Map Editor is built for a narrower moment: a playable, polished encounter map that needs to be ready now.
RPG MAP EDITOR
Fast, focused, portable
- Online subscription or €14.99 one-time offline
- Original pixel-art starter packs
- PNG + editable project files
- Bring your own tilesets
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; paid plans add higher resolution and commercial use.
Our 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.
Our difference: a lighter, hand-painted workflow and a lightweight PNG handoff, online or offline.
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.
Our difference: built for tactical battle maps, with an offline edition at €14.99.
