Origin Vault
Your Foundry VTT assets finally have a home they deserve.
As your map collection keeps growing, and all the tokens, BGM, and sound effects start piling up on your drive — how do you actually find what you need, quickly?
"Where was that stone bridge map again?"
"What was that BGM called... 'forest'? 'dusk forest'? All I remember is something with 'forest'..."
"Ugh, I have to click into subfolder after subfolder, check, back out, check the next one..."
"I want to hear the good part of this BGM, but how do I even skip ahead..."
If any of that sounds familiar, Origin Vault is going to change your.
It's a full asset library system built right into Foundry VTT — not a small tweak, but a complete solution. Find exactly what you want from five thousand images, hundreds of BGM tracks, and thousands of maps. Fast.
What it does
For maps — hover to browse freely. See every detail and every tile through the built-in scene renderer, instead of squinting at blurry thumbnails. Activate a scene with one click, or jump straight to whichever scene you're currently viewing.
For images and ambient audio — drag directly from OV onto the canvas. Tiles, ambient sound sources with radius and volume controls — drop and done.
For everything else — let OV replace your default file picker, so you pick assets from your library instead of navigating raw paths. Need a folder picker or some edge case? You can switch back to the default picker anytime.
Finding things — no more clicking into subfolder after subfolder only to back out again. Deep search cuts across your entire library, and tag filters let you narrow it down instantly. Can't remember the exact filename? Fuzzy search has your back.
Organizing — virtual folders make it dead simple: want a map in another category? Just drag it there — the actual file doesn't move. Need to organize in bulk? Select a bunch and batch-operate. The tag system keeps everything tidy without any effort.
Under the hood
Multi-library support. Split by campaign, by asset type, however you like. Color labels, descriptions, switch between them freely.
Upload with auto-optimization. Drag files in from your computer. PNGs and JPEGs auto-convert to WebP — roughly half the file size, no visible quality loss. Files land in your library automatically, no extra steps.
Built-in file browser. Browse your server directories without leaving OV — data folder, module folders, S3, whatever. See something you want? Drag it in.
Hover preview & Quick Look. Hover for an instant high-res popup. Hit Space for fullscreen preview. Videos auto-play, audio shows waveforms. No more opening files just to see what they are.
Windowed & fullscreen. Pin OV to the side while you build your scene, or go fullscreen when it's time for serious organizing.
Format support: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF.... Everything gets auto-generated thumbnails.
