Forbidden Lands map in image form?

I'm looking to run a FL game on Roll20 and I'd really like a higher quality map as an image file to set as my map. I'm hoping to use the Fog of War feature to reveal the map as the PCs explore and it would be great if we could actually read the smaller text and see the hex grid lines. Roll20, to my knowledge, doesn't let one use a pdf image as a map background. Are other formats of the map available anywhere?
Thanks!

There is a psd version of the map
here but it is very large. There might be some other versions on that thread (I don't remember).

Actually, if you drag a pdf file to a page in Roll20, like you would a jpeg or png file, Roll20 will turn that pdf to an image for you. The program will ask you what side from the pdf to turn into an image. Same restrictions as for other files concerning the size of the file though.
Happy gaming!

Thanks! Unfortunately the main colour version here seems to be in Swedish... Any idea if there's an English one?

I did not know about this. It doesn't seem to be working for me though... Maybe the file's too big...

There’s a file size limit of, if I remember correct, 5 MB for the free tier account and 10 MB for Plus and PRO account...
