So I just bought the full fallout/wasteland bundle for my VTT campaign next week. They are all amazing! However I am wondering why they are all so MASSIVE in size? Like especially this one vault 10. 300MB? I can't possibly use that as is. My players would have to wait for the graphic to load for 30 minutes. So now I have to downsample all of these to something reasonable. Am I missing something easy? I'm new to all this so might not know the trick. 

Hey buddy. They are massive because there are many people which requests "Printable" sizes. What I'm doing in my games is to cut the locations into scenes or as you said downsizing them.

I'm trying to provide the highest possible resolution for my supporters and this is the downside of HD JPEG formats. 

I'm still researching if I can find a better compressed format without losing the quality. I tried PNG and they were over 1 GB :D 

Gotcha that's fine. I really like the whole bundle ... all 4GB! You definitely do the highest quality work for the cheapest price, so keep it up if it is working for ya! Just know that future packs ... I would gladly buy a lower resolution :-) My HD space is really bad and it's all because of TT RPGs.

Thanks a lot my friend. I'll keep in mind and try to make lower resolution versions of each map in the future. When I find time I can update also newest map packs with lower res so you can download them for free. I'll update you from this comment section so keep an eye.

About the pricing, I'm happy as long as my maps are used in games and people enjoys. I'm not trying to get rich but I want to keep this wheel turning so I can make more for people. Thanks for your awesome feedback! 

One possibility is the .webp format? I import most of my stuff into FoundryVTT with that format, using TheRipper93's Media Optimizer module, and it's been working fairly well for me. I know this is late, but thought I'd mention it!

I tried webb format but unfortunately it can only work with smaller maps (less than 50x50 tiles) any other gives an error "the resolution is too high for webb format"... :(
