Crop token?

I was wondering if there is a way to crop the tokens on roll20? I have been running across quite a few tokens I really like on Roll20 (even purchased a pack). But a common problem I have been experiencing is that, when placed on the map, they shrink due to too much empty space in their design. So far I have been enlarging and using alt to place them, but it can be problematic when say I have two small creatures with huge token spaces (but proportionately small models) and one medium in between them. I end up having to move the two smaller ones to get to the medium. I know I can set the medium to top layer and get around that but still. If I could just crop out that empty space everything would be so much easier, especially for my players that often forget their alt keys.

No, the VTT does not have the functionality to crop the tokens. However, if you download the image, you could crop it in an image editor and upload the trimmed copy to your art library. It's more steps and uses up library space, but it's an option available to you.

Is there a specific set that has too much empty space?
I have a problem with the size of Devin's Token set on the small and tiny creatures, they are just too small for my taste. The simple free solution if you like his work but want bigger images to use is download his free sets, or better buy some its good work from here. <a href="http://immortalnights.com/tokensite/?post_type=product" rel="nofollow">http://immortalnights.com/tokensite/?post_type=product</a> Then get token tool, it is a free to use program that quickly and easily lets you turn any image into a token. <a href="http://www.rptools.net/?page=downloads" rel="nofollow">http://www.rptools.net/?page=downloads</a> Use token tool to put a ring around Devin's smaller tokens but this does crop them, you get something like these. I am sure Gimp, paint.net, or photoshop could do a better job of making tokens out of them but token tool is quick and easy.
Gauss said: Is there a specific set that has too much empty space? Devin Token Pack 36 - Humanoid Monsters (KS). I ended up downloading them then editing them in gimp to make them larger. Perhaps they were designed to scale, but it feels a bit tiny to me. But the detail work is why I bought it, if it can't be seen what's the point? lol. They still feel half the size of a PC even after my editing.
