Roll20 Maps?; How do I make custom maps?

I'm looking to make custom maps with the tiles from the games for use on Roll20, but I can't find a tileset and cropping/pasting them individually on Roll20 would take years. I have RPG Maker MV if that could be utilised at all.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to make the maps directly in Roll20, you can copy them in in bulk. I've gotten every pokemon through gen 6 loaded and sorted in a couple hours. Thanks to Elemental Knight for already cropping them: http://forums.pokemontabletop.com/topic/9407009/1/

The rest I import as needed.

If RPG Maker can export .png, .jpeg, or .gif formats, you could make the map in there then just load the final product into Roll20.

You can also use a program like Tiled that will turn uncropped sheets, if spaced correctly, into brush sets you can layer to make much faster maps, especially if you figure out terrain tools so that you don't have to place every single individual edgw and corner of a road or cliff.

I agree with tiled, it's a reaally easy program, the brush terrain is good, you just need tilesets and there are tutorials on youtube.

For maps, i only do the not-movable structure like barriers, walls, machines, everything screwed to the ground on Tiled, then i add barrels, boxes and other movables things on roll20 with the sprites of Elemental Knight and cartridges
