larger maps for subscribers?

Is there any thought to allowing subscribers to upload maps larger than 5mbs?  I would love to upload a 7.5 mb map I have without lowering the resolution by changing it into a file smaller than 5mb...

This is already a feature. If you go to the link below and check the Custom Upload Storage line it shows what each level gets.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/account/supporter" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/account/supporter</a> - Gauss

Just fyi... roll20 doesn't do well with huge maps like that. Better to break them up into smaller, separate maps.

As the link Gauss posted shows, the mentor level give you up to 10mbs in file size but you have to consider that not everyone has a computer that can handle it as well as maybe yours.

To explain further, when a large image is displayed the entire thing (not just what is on the visible screen) is rendered. On large maps this can cause significant processor lag.&nbsp; Try to cut up the image into 3x3 (or more) sections. While some people would like to do only 2x2 (four) sections that has the problem that, in the middle where all four sections meet, they will all be rendered and thus have the same problem as the original image.&nbsp; Also: try not to use PNGs for large images unless absolutely necessary. They really give processors a fit.&nbsp; - Gauss
Thanks Guass!
