Artwork
Artwork is the art attached to a particular character or token. The Library is a shared stash you draw from; artwork is what a specific token is wearing right now.
Artwork slots
Tokens and characters carry several pieces of art at once:
- a map token image,
- a portrait,
- and any number of alternates you can switch between.
Switching artwork is available as an action, so a token can change form mid-fight.
Adding artwork
Drag an image in, or use the source picker. You can bring art from your device, from a URL, from the clipboard, from the Library, or generate it.
What happens to an upload:
- It is re-encoded to WebP for fast loading.
- Thumbnails and smaller variants are generated for quick display.
- The original is kept as well.
Where your browser can do the work, it does — large files go straight to storage rather than through the app.
Tokenizing
Tokenize turns a piece of art into a proper token: it detects the subject — faces, where there are faces — crops to a circle, and centres it. This runs in your browser.
You can adjust the crop by hand afterwards.
Background removal
Purple Cat can remove an image's background, which is what you want for a token cut from a full illustration. There are two paths: an in-browser model (free, private, decent) and an AI-provider path (better, needs an API key).
Image search
An image search integration is available for finding art on the web ‹verify whether this is enabled in the hosted deployment›. Whatever you find is still subject to its own licence — see the FAQ.
Where images live
Uploaded images are stored in cloud object storage and served to your campaign members. They are organised by campaign.
An image URL is currently a link that works for anyone who has it. Do not treat uploaded art as private. ‹This changes when private image storage ships.›
