How to Upload NFTs to IPFS (FAST & FREE)

How to Upload NFTs to IPFS (FAST & FREE)

Today I’m going to teach you how to upload your NFTs to IPFS absolutely free.

The reason you need to upload your images and metadata to IPFS is because IPFS will store them permanently. So every time someone wants to view your NFT, the image will be pulled from IPFS and shown to the user.

You may have heard of a base URI, or a CID, especially if you’ve watched my other videos, and finding that has been a difficult part of the NFT creation process for a lot of people.

This video is for people who have already generated their artwork, so if you haven’t done that yet, I’ll leave a link in the description and a card in the top right corner of the screen which will teach you how to do that. I still recommend watching this video all the way through first so you’ll get an understanding of how it’s all done.

In this video I’ll teach you how to upload your NFTs to IPFS and obtain the CID which will be used for the base URI in your smart contract. #nft #ipfs #nftart

for the base uri that is to be input into the contract, are we using the one for the json or for the images?

NFT UP doesn't seem to work anymore. This video was my go-to tutorial each time I needed to create a new collection =(

What is the new recommended workflow please ?

Hi Reece, Thanks for the video... Extremely helpful, as Soon as Im sold out you deserve some.. so Drop your SOL ADD, also, Any chance you can create a video in how to Change/Update ART and JSON Files (In case we need to make changes to Art or MetaData to the same collection), Thanks again.

Are the images pinned for free on nft storage, I started to look at pinata but there is a limit of 100 pinned items. reading about ipfs the garbage collector attempts to reclaim memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use which unpinned and unassessed images would become items no longer in use

I'm not so keen on paying a subscription for life to pin images that might end up being worthless. I might as well host them on cloud storage if I am paying to host them on ipfs...

Why not upload the files directly to IPFS and ignore tools like NFT Storage or Pinata, etc.?

Awesome Video! I love the whole series! but @ReeceHunter, I am curious how to do a preReveal with an NFT project. What is the point of the "Set Base URI" command in the contract if you need to update the URI before we deploy? Thanks!

[kayesahmedT]

[barbariancauldron]

You lost me at the updating JSON. Do you have a service you offer to get collections listed?

[einfrie]

is with this method, someone who know URI will be able to peeking to unminted images?

[ЄвгенЧебукін]

[leozolt]

How about not your keys, not your files?
