Introduction

Tokenizer 2 is a token image editor for Foundry VTT. Click any actor's portrait to open it, build a token from layers of images, frames and rings, and save it straight back to the actor. It edits both the token and the avatar/portrait.

Highlights
- Layers you can always change - stack images, frames, rings, text and colour layers, with blend modes, colour grading and effects. Nothing is flattened: reopen the editor later and every layer is still there.
- Editing tools - transform, magic lasso, freehand cut-out, erase and restore, liquify, clone and heal, and painted masks.
- Pop-out Tokens - let a character burst out of their frame.
- Frames and rings - built-in, custom and shared frames, shape rings, disposition rings, Foundry's Dynamic Ring, and oversized tokens.
- Ring Generator - design your own ring frames from dozens of themes, with materials, gems, ornaments and effects, some of them animated, drawn in a number of graphic styles.
- Dynamic Rings - turn Ring Generator designs into Foundry's own dynamic token rings, coloured per token if you like, and share them between worlds.
- Number badges - tell copies of the same creature apart with numbered badges in many designs (or your own), chosen by creature type or trait.
- Ornaments - give tokens small decals.
- Conditions on tokens - show each token's conditions as ring effects on the map, for D&D5e, Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 2e, Shadowdark, Pendragon and Foundry's core statuses.
- Animated tokens - animation presets and video layers, saved as a looping WebM.
- Auto Token - tokenize a whole compendium at once, with a frame for each kind of creature and a ring of its own for every token; a macro does the same for an Actor folder.
- Settings backup - copy your settings to other worlds, or download them as a file.
- Guided tour - the ? button in the editor walks you through it.
