Is there a way to save a map as an image?

I made a gorgeous map that I would like to print out, a screenshot would lose a lot of fidelity. Is there a way to save a map as an image?
I recommend the third party map apps out there on the web.  Wait no, I recommend you just subscribe to r/roll20 and r/battlemaps and just take all of the vast amounts of free maps out there.  Map making is a giant timesink and you  pretty much are reinventing the wheel everytime you make a map from scratch.  Sooo much free art out there.

Do you mean you drew it and placed assets directly within Roll20? If that’s the case, then the best you can do is simply screenshot it, which will lose fidelity like you said. It might help somewhat to zoom in and take multiple screenshots and use a photo editing program to ‘reassemble’ them into a single image, but that still won’t really increase resolution.  If it’s just a collection of drawings and assets in Roll20, this issue is the map is not  a single image. Other map creation tools do the same thing, but at the end literally convert all the individual pieces into a single image with some kind of export feature.  If you’re interested in making more maps in the future, I’d suggest looking into mapmaking tools, such as DungeonnmDraft, Inkarnate, ProFantasy, etc. 
Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way.

If you are using marketplace assets to make your maps, you might consider downloading them all.  I do that and then assemble maps in GIMP or Inkscape.  Then I upload my maps as a single image, which I can then alter the look/feel by flipping and/or adding other assets from the art library within Roll20.

If you have a large monitor you could also just use the snippet tool in windows 8+.  Startmenu key+shift+S.  Capture the map area and then paste it into your preferred photo editor.
