How to Export Tokens for Roll20
The right sizes, formats, and upload workflow — so your tokens look sharp on the grid.
Roll20 Token Sizes by Creature Size
Roll20's default token size for a 1×1 creature is 280×280 px. Use 560px for Large (2×2), 840px for Huge (3×3), and 1120px for Gargantuan (4×4+) tokens.
Roll20 can resize uploads, but exporting at the right size first gives cleaner edges and more reliable grid fit during play.
| Creature Size | Grid | Pixels |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | 1×1 | 280px |
| Large | 2×2 | 560px |
| Huge | 3×3 | 840px |
| Gargantuan | 4×4+ | 1120px |
See all sizes including Tiny and Small in the creature token size guide.

Open RPG Token Maker
Go to rpgtokenmaker.com and upload your character portrait. Drag to reposition, zoom to frame the face.
Choose a border and color
Pick from 15+ border styles. Set a faction color — settings persist across your entire image queue.

How to Upload Tokens to Roll20
Fast path: open campaign → Art Library → Upload PNG → drag token onto map.
Open your Roll20 campaign
Go to your campaign page and click Launch Game.
Open the Art Library
In the tabletop editor, click the Art Library tab in the right sidebar (the palette icon).
Upload your token
Click Upload and select your exported PNG. It appears in My Uploads.
Drag to the map
Drag the token from Art Library onto your map. Roll20 automatically sizes 280px tokens to a 1×1 grid cell.
Pro tip:If you're prepping a full encounter, export all tokens first using RPG Token Maker's image queue, then upload them to Roll20 in one batch. The Art Library supports multi-file upload.
Tips for Roll20 Token Quality
Use transparent PNGs
Roll20 renders transparency correctly. Avoid JPG — it adds a white background behind circular tokens.
Match pixel size to grid
280px = 1 grid square. A 560px token placed on a 1×1 cell will work but look identical to 280px — use the right preset to save file size.
Check your campaign grid
If your Roll20 campaign uses a custom grid size, scale proportionally. The default 70px/cell × 4 = 280px.
Roll20 Token FAQ
Yes. Roll20 accepts WebP, but transparent PNG is usually the safest default for compatibility and predictable image quality.
Use size-matched exports: Large 560px (2×2), Huge 840px (3×3), and Gargantuan 1120px (4×4+). Then resize on the map to the same grid footprint.
For Roll20, export Large creatures at 560px and Huge creatures at 840px. This keeps the token crisp while matching 2×2 and 3×3 map space.
For circular tokens, yes. Transparent PNG avoids white corners or background blocks and gives cleaner results on dark or textured maps.
