Accessing the Art Library
The Art Library is the second tab of the Sidebar and is accessible to you while in any of your games. This tab allows you to search for images to use as tokens, tiles, and maps for your Campaign.
To find assets, just type a keyword into the searchbox, making sure to use the dropdown menu to select the type of item. You can choose from 'Tokens', 'Maps, Tiles, Textures', 'Portraits', and 'Everything'. Roll20 will automatically search through any files you’ve uploaded, popular RPG forums and sites on the web, and the Roll20 Marketplace. A cross section of popular packs from the Roll20 Marketplace will be displayed and highlighted in yellow. These assets have been created specifically for use in Roll20 by community members like you. Marketplace assets can be expanded to show up to 100 different items and can be purchased directly from the Art Library tab. Once you’ve found or purchased an asset you’d like to use, simply drag and drop it from the Art Library area onto your Virtual Tabletop to add it to your Campaign.
Favorites
By clicking the star next to any result, you can add the image to Your Library. The image will automatically appear at the top of the results the next time you search for the same keyword.
Your Library
If you select the star icon next to the search box, you access Your Library. Your Library includes images you have uploaded, images you have starred from search results, and assets you have purchased in the Roll20 Marketplace. You can add multiple tags to any asset in Your Library, and it will appear in search results for that tag in the future. You can also click the "Upload" tab at the top to upload images to Your Library by dragging and dropping or choosing them from your file system. You can upload ten images at a time in a batch. There is a 5MB maximum limit to an image upload (this is for a singular graphic or for a batch of them).
Your Quota
Roll20 allows 100MB worth of art assets to be used by a base account (the default account type). Note that only images you've uploaded to Your Library (not including assets from the Marketplace) count toward your quota.
To free up space in your quota, access the Art Library icon from the Sidebar in your game. Select the star icon next to the search box. This will take you to Your Library.
Click the red trash can icon next to the image(s) you'd like to remove. The system will prompt you prior to deleting the data to confirm that you wish to continue.
You can check your current quota usage on your My Account page
