Sephral’s Image Paste & Drop
Found the perfect map, character portrait or image online and want to use it in Foundry without having to download and upload everything manually?
Image Paste & Drop makes adding images to your Foundry VTT world much easier. Simply paste an image from your clipboard, drag a file into Foundry or use an image URL. The module handles the upload and lets you turn your images into scenes, tiles, handouts and more with just a few clicks.
Highlights
Easy Image Import
Paste screenshots, copied images or image URLs using Ctrl+V. You can also drag image files from your computer or directly from your browser into Foundry.
Multiple Image Targets
Choose how you want to use your image. Create new scenes, change scene backgrounds, place tiles, add journal pages or map pins, update character portraits and tokens, or share pictures directly with your players.
Multiple Images at Once
Import several images together and automatically turn them into separate scenes, a collection of journal pages or a grid of tiles.
Drag and Drop Tiles
Place images directly onto your map by dragging them to the desired position. The module automatically aligns them with the grid.
Automatic File Management
Images are uploaded and organized automatically without using Foundry's file browser. Duplicate files are avoided, and large images can be resized and converted to WebP to save storage space.
Image URL Support
Copy an image address from your browser and paste it directly into Foundry. If the website prevents downloading, the module can use the original image URL instead.
Player Permissions
Allow players to share pictures, create handouts or change their own token images. The GM can configure exactly which features players are allowed to use.
Customizable Import Settings
Choose a default destination for your images or let the module remember your previous selection to make importing even faster.
How It Works
Enable the module in your world and copy an image, grab an image URL or select files from your computer.
Press Ctrl+V outside a text field or drag your images directly into Foundry. A preview window opens where you can choose what to create or update.
The module takes care of uploading and storing the images automatically.
Compatibility
Supports Foundry VTT v13 and v14 and works with any game system, including worlds hosted on The Forge. The module is available in English and German.
By default, only the GM can use the module. Player access can be enabled and customized through the module settings.
