Drag-and-drop portrait uploader that automatically converts images to WebP and stores them in a GM-specified location, all on the client side.
Why?
No more "UltraHiRez 72Mb in size" .png files!
No more, or at least less: pleas, tears, treats or social contracts during the pre-planning stage of your TRPG campaign!
This FoundryVTT module replaces the standard FilePicker window for non-GM users with a simple drag-and-drop interface, which converts any provided image to WebP format on the client side and saves it in a location specified by the GM.
All that, and it still looks less complicated than airplane controls, even for users who aren’t that tech-savvy.
Simple.
User experience
User needs a permission to upload files.
GM experience
After you have finished the setup, it's basically the same.
But as a GM:
- You can choose a separate folder for your files.
- You can keep the original names.
- And if you choose to do so, a pop-up window will appear when you paste something from the clipboard, allowing you to edit a resulting name.
- You can limit the maximum image resolution per side. The image will be downscaled proportionally.
