VTT Exporter

The VTT Exporter tool uses the Universal VTT (UVTT) file format which is supported by all major VTT platforms. You can find the VTT Export panel under File > Export.

  • ​As soon as the panel opens the camera will automatically go to the top view and switch to Orthographic view.

  • The Orthographic Camera eliminates perception and makes everything flat, therefore everything falls nicely into the right Grid Tile.

  • For now the system exports walls, Lights, and doors.

  • Upon export, the camera will position itself so the top left corner falls exactly to a grid cross for the exported image to fall perfectly into the grid

  • Instead of choosing a file name, we auto-generate the file name from the project name and environment tab name. We also add the tile size of the map to the file name in case you may need it later.

Exporter's Options

ROLL 20 VTT

Roll20 For Roll20, the process is less streamlined, and a Roll20 Pro subscription is required.

​

  • Enable the mode by adding the UniversalVTTImporter in your game's Mod (API) settings.

  • When exporting the map, select the Optimize for Roll20 option in the export panel. This reduces the steps needed for import.

  • After exporting, note the map size displayed at the bottom of the panel or in the file name.

  • In Roll20 Create a new page and adjust the page size to match the exported map size.

  • Import the generated JPEG onto the page.

  • If the image doesn’t fit the canvas, adjust its size.

  • The tool copies the map data to your clipboard upon export. Open the image settings (Token Settings), go to the GM Notes tab, and paste the data there.

  • In the chat, type !uvtt.

Your map should now be ready to use.
