New DM Question - Size Categories

I'm sure that this has been addressed (probably a bunch of times) but I'm having trouble finding an answer. For background, We're doing 5e and I have the marketplace versions of all of the items I'm using. The question is, how do I deal with the size categories of my npcs/monsters? When I drop a kobold from the compendium on my map, the token defaults to medium size. I have found how to manually adjust the size of the token, but for tokens smaller than medium they snap to the top left corner of their cells, rather than the center. Is there a way to force the system to automatically adjust the size of these things or to have it snap to a different area of their cells? Thanks in advance for the help 01

HI xone01, Small and medium characters both control a 5' x 5' area, and are represented by the same size token. A pixie, by contrast is tiny, and uses a smaller token. The trick to them not snapping improperly is that the image is still the same size as other tokens, but the token graphic within the image bounds has more padding around it. It's a smaller graphic inside the same size image file. In order to modify an existing token to be smaller, you would need to download it, open it up in an image processing app and either scale the graphic within the bounds, or add more transparent space around it. Either approach will snap to the grid when uploaded. and give a smaller token.
If you have a Pro subscription, this script will center-align any tokens smaller than 70px.
