Everything i upload is rescaled as an 3x3 square

Good day to you, Everything is said in the title. Whenever I try to upload a picture or a token on the map, it automaticaly resize it in a 3x3 square for absolutely no apparent reason. I precise that I do have the gridded map unchecked in the settings. Can somebody help me to have my stuff not resize like this ?

That is normal. The vtt doesn't know how the dimensions of your image, so it is resized to 3x3 on the map layer or 1x1 on the token layer.  The easiest way to set the size is to know the pixel or grid unit dimensions of your image.  Then you can simply right click on the image and select "set dimensions" through the advanced menu.  The dialogue defaults to pixels, but you can change that to grid units, which is probably what you want to do if your image has a grid, but isn't set up with the 70px per grid unit that is the default grid scale in Roll20.

The reason the app does not know the size is that the pixels of an image are not always 70px to the grid. Some tile makers design at higher resolutions to give better display at higher zooms, and tokens are almost always oversampled even more. If they were not, images would look jagged as you zoom into any value higher than 100%. Web images generally don't have an intended screen display size.  There has long been a policy for marketplace contributors to attach metadata for the intended display size of art assets, but AFAIK, this has been in anticipation of a system that has yet to materialize.

I may be missing something, but I don't see how I can go back to normal, nore does it explain why it started not to recognize the dimension of my pictures all of a sudden.

yes its  taking pics that were previously dropped as rectangles and dropping them on the table as squares which is not always what people may want

I notice this, too. I have a picture say in a format ratio 4:3, which is not a square. I drop it onto the object layer and the system rescales it to a square. This is very annoying since I have to eyeball the proportions and resacle the picture. Some time ago this was not the case. Proportions were not changed by dropping onto the table. Could someone please look into this?

You can preserve the aspect ratio by dragging from  Folder View . I suspect the alt-drag to preserve aspect ratio was accidentally removed when the Marketplace upgrade was introduced: Change Log Thursday at 13:47 2021 November 4, 2021 Marketplace purchases with set grid size metadata will drag on to the VTT at that size. If the image does not have data, it will be placed as 3x3 on the map layer or 1x1 on any other layer. I am sure the alt-drag was removed accidentally. Hopefully it will be restored soon. I suggest a  Help Center Request  to call attention to the issue.

Honestly easiest option is just to right click on the image and set the dimensions; I always found this was easier anyway as images never uploaded to the correct size

Images can't upload to "the correct size" unless they were created with a ppu* intent of 70 ppu. But they did and do still upload to the correct aspect ratio. The issue is that without the aspect ratio, it may be impossible to easily scale without some detective work. *ppu = pixels per unit, what most folks will incorrectly call dpi.

Yep, the Alt Drag is gone. They better restore it, as it's a huge issue (and honestly, the default should *not* be to fit the grid in the first place. It's almost never actually useful, as someone that has used roll20 since 2012).
