Before you install.

Is there a paid version?

No. Tabletop is free, with no subscription or paid tier. You can contribute to development if you find it useful.

Can it import every image from a website?

Not always. Some pages require a login, restrict access or do not expose their media. Tabletop collects available references and lets you choose which ones to add. You can also import files directly.

Why does my computer show a security warning?

The Windows build is unsigned and the Mac build isn’t notarized. Your system may show a warning when you first open Tabletop. See the installation instructions below.
