Introduction

Tokenizer 2

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.
