Token Forge
Make round tokens for virtual tabletops in your browser. Pick a border, frame a portrait, and download a transparent PNG for Roll20, Foundry VTT, Owlbear Rodeo or any VTT that takes images.
Open Token Forge · No account, no upload: images never leave your browser.
Features
- Portraits: upload, drop or paste (Ctrl+V) a PNG, JPG or WEBP.
- 10 borders: Iron Ring, Celtic Gold, Vine Serpent, Blood Ruby, Runic Amethyst, Sapphire Knot, Dragon Coil, Dwarven Rune, Iron Barb and Copper Vine.
- Custom borders: load your own 512×512 PNG. The opening is detected automatically.
- Framing: drag to move, scroll or pinch to zoom, double-click to recentre. Width and height scale separately when you need to stretch.
- Adjustments: brightness, contrast, saturation, flip and free rotation.
- Safe-area ring: shows exactly where the portrait is cut.
- Export: transparent PNG at 256, 512 or 1024 px. Larger sizes are redrawn from the source image, not upscaled.
- Keyboard: arrow keys nudge (Shift for bigger steps), + and − zoom.
- Light and dark themes, and your settings are remembered between visits.
Running locally
No build step and no dependencies. Clone the repo and serve the folder:
git clone https://github.com/Sectr99/TokenForge.git
cd TokenForge
npm start
Then open http://localhost:3000. npm start runs serve through npx; any static file server works.
How it works
Everything runs client-side on a single <canvas>. The portrait is clipped to a circle at the border's inner radius, transformed and filtered, and the border image is drawn on top. Exports redraw the same scene on an offscreen canvas at the chosen size.
index.html page shell
css/main.css styles (DungeonTools design tokens and components)
js/borders.js built-in border list: image path and cut radius
js/app.js canvas rendering, input handling, export, saved settings
assets/borders/ border art (512×512 WebP with alpha)
Adding a built-in border
- Add a 512×512 image with a transparent background and a fully opaque ring to
assets/borders/.
- Add an entry to
BORDERS in js/borders.js. innerR is the radius in pixels, from the centre, where the portrait is cut. Set it a few pixels past the ring's inner edge so the portrait tucks under it.
Deployment
Hosted on Cloudflare. Pushes to main deploy the repository root as static assets (see wrangler.jsonc); cache headers are in _headers. JS and CSS are cached for a year, so bump the ?v= query in index.html when they change.
Roadmap
- Colour tint per border
- Creature size presets (Small, Medium, Large, Huge)
- Name label under the token
- Batch export
