1. Ensure you are logged in to zora.co

We recommend using our testnet before deploying any collection to the mainnet. Testing on the testnet provides a risk-free environment where you can ensure that your collection functions correctly and identify any potential issues before they occur on the mainnet, saving you time and ETH.

1. Upload the media files for your post. These files can be a video, gif, audio, PDF, 3D or image file type.

   • There is a max file size of 2GB. *The larger the file size, the longer it can take for your file to upload

2. Want to mint a text NFT? Click anywhere in the upload box and type and/or paste your text.

   

3. Try Canvas! Use our canvas tool to create your own NFTs by adding your own media, remixing featured NFTs, entering AI prompts, or simply drawing on the canvas. 

   

Once you have uploaded your artwork, give your post a title.
