Count the grid in the original artwork
Use a map image you have permission to print. Count complete squares across the playable area, not the decorative frame. This maker does not generate a battle map or add a grid; both must already be part of your image. Keep the source at its original aspect ratio.
Convert squares to printed width
For a 20-square-wide map with 1-inch squares, the playable width is 20 inches, or 50.8 cm. Enter that under Exact size only if the image is cropped to the playable grid. If a border adds one square on each side, the full image spans 22 inches instead.
Test a square and assemble by row
Print at 100% and measure one square in both directions before printing every tile. Keep 5 mm overlap and page numbers to help reconnect paths and walls. Build rows on a flat surface, tape underneath, and keep the assembly map outside the play area.
Help & FAQ
Is the library world map a battle map?
No. It is an educational land-outline map with no game grid. Upload your own finished tabletop map for this workflow.
Can I use centimetre-scale squares?
Yes. Multiply the square count by the desired centimetres per square and enter the full-image width, including any border.
