Create a Collection

Preparatory Steps for Creators​

Before creating your NFT collection, you'll need to prepare your assets and metadata. Here are the essential steps to get ready:

Metadata Preparation​

Collection creators should prepare their data in advance to ensure a smooth creation process. Your collection metadata should include:

  • Name: A unique and memorable name for your collection
  • Description: Detailed information about your collection's theme, story, or concept
  • Image: A representative image that will be displayed as your collection's banner

NFT Metadata Structure​

Each NFT in your collection requires a metadata JSON file. This metadata is crucial because:

  • Marketplaces only receive the metadata JSON file URI (not the actual NFT image)
  • The marketplace parses the metadata to extract information including the image URL
  • The image field is essential - without it, marketplaces cannot display your NFT image

Required Metadata Fields​

Your NFT metadata JSON must include these fields:

{
  "name": "NFT Name",
  "description": "NFT Description",
  "image": "https://ipfs.io/ipfs/your_image_CID",
  "attributes": [
    {
      "trait_type": "Background",
      "value": "Blue"
    }
  ]
}

Critical Note: The image field must contain the direct URL to your NFT image file. This is how marketplaces know where to fetch and display your NFT image. Without this field, users will see broken images or no images at all.

NFT Creation Tools​

To create the NFT images and metadata for your collection, you can use these popular platforms:

No-Code Platforms (Paid)​

  • NFT Generator Art - User-friendly interface for creating NFT collections
  • Bueno.art - Professional NFT creation platform with advanced features

Note: These platforms are no-code solutions but require payment and offer limited customization options.
