Frequently asked questions

What kind of maps can I create?

Any scene you can describe. Forest clearings, dungeon corridors, space stations, cyberpunk alleys, haunted manors, western saloons — NeedAMap works across fantasy, sci-fi, horror, modern, and any other genre.

How long does it take?

Most maps are ready in under 60 seconds. You describe your scene, and we handle the rest.

What resolution are the maps?

Maps are available in 1K, 2K, and 4K resolution. 2K is plenty for most virtual tabletops — even Roll20's recommended grid size.

Can I use these maps in my VTT?

Yes. Download your map as a high-resolution image and import it directly into Roll20, Foundry VTT, Owlbear Rodeo, Fantasy Grounds, Talespire, or any platform that supports image uploads.

Is it free?

You get free maps to start when you sign up. After that, plans start at $5/month.

Do I need to be an artist or know how to use design tools?

Not at all. Just describe what you want in plain English — like telling a player what they see when they walk into a room.
