Can't find optimal token design information
So I was looking here in the forums and on the wiki and I cannot find any guidance on what are optimal proportions for the images used as tokens. Also are .jpg or .png better because I'm not familiar with transparency in .jpg I only have used .png for that. I assume I cannot be the first person to ask so it is my weak search-fu at play. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?
Finally, is there a way to set a different image for a pc and an npc to use as their portrait so one is the portrait and the other is the token on battlemaps?
Thanks!

Tokens are always .png files. Make them 100x100 for medium or less; 200x200 for large and 300x300 for anything bigger.

And to change the token for a PC or NPC simply drag the new token to the token frame on the character sheet or in the combat tracker, then drag the updated token from the CT to the map.
Additionally - the official SmiteWorks guidelines for small or smaller creatures is to use a token size of 75x75 pixels. Otherwise, the guidelines are what Zacchaeus mentions.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

This is already in the wiki at https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/..._-_Token_Packs, but the pixel sizes given are somewhat different than what has been posted in this thread:
Tokens should be 50px by 50px for smaller than human size tokens, 100px by 100px for human sized tokens, and 200px by 200px for anything larger than human.

The ‘official’ sizes were changed a few months ago and I have been updating all of the 5e tokens as and when I have cause to do other things in the module. The three sizes are as noted in my post above. However this is only for official products so you can really make the tokens any size you want. I would not make the sizes too much smaller or too much larger than those dimensions.
