Free tools / Token maker
Token maker
Lift a picture off its background, cut it to a shape, and frame it: class-inspired borders and animated damage-type effects.
Choose, drop or paste a picture.
Scribble Keep over your subject (face, hair, armour, anything it holds), then Remove over background that is still showing. It cuts after every stroke, and never removes what you marked Keep.
A square PNG with a transparent middle. It is drawn over the design and effects, so pick “No border” above to use it alone.
The PNG is a still with a transparent background. Everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded.
Make a token that looks like your character
Take any picture, lift it off its background, cut it to a circle, hexagon, shield or other shape, and put a frame around it. Frames come plain, or themed on a class or subclass: thornvine for a druid, gilded filigree for a paladin, crossed blades for a fighter, moon phases for a Circle of the Moon druid, a lamp and wisps for a genie-sworn paladin.
Then make it move. Animated effects follow the damage types, so a fire sorcerer's token licks with flame, a tempest cleric's crackles with lightning, a necromancer's trails dark smoke, and a psion's ripples. Add a glow, a pulse, a rainbow, or sparkles on top, and pick your own colours for all of it.

How to use it
- Choose, drop or paste a picture.
- Scribble Keep over your character and Remove over the background, and it cuts after every stroke. Tidy edges with the brushes.
- Pick a shape, then drag and zoom the picture to frame the face.
- Choose a border design and its colours, an animated effect, and a motion style, or import a border of your own.
- Download the token as a PNG, the picture alone, an animated GIF, or a short video.
Using it on your table
The PNG has a transparent background, so it drops onto any virtual tabletop or into any character sheet that takes an image. The animated version downloads as a looping GIF, which most virtual tabletops accept, or as a WebM video. In Six Axes the same token maker sits in the tabletop for the GM and for each player, and the frame is drawn live, so the animation plays at the table.
Common questions
Is the token maker free?
Yes. It is free, needs no login, and nothing you make is uploaded or stored.
How does the background removal work?
You scribble roughly over what to keep and what to remove, and it finds the boundary between them, following the outlines in the picture. It never removes anything you marked Keep. For a plain background, Quick remove does it in one click.
Can I use my own border?
Yes. Import a square PNG with a transparent middle and it is drawn around your picture, alone or over one of the designs.
Are the class borders official art?
No. Every design is original Six Axes artwork. The class and subclass names only say what inspired each one.
