This is a guide to creating and formatting the artwork folder for your drop

Updated over a week ago

To successfully upload your artwork folder, you must ensure that the contents have been correctly formatted. To begin with, make sure that inside your folder, you have the following components:

  1. A ‘media’ folder containing all of your artwork files.

    1. These files must be formatted correctly and numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. *Ensure there are no hash marks in the filenames

  2. Optional - A single .csv file containing your collection’s metadata

  3. Optional - A ‘thumbnails’ folder containing the thumbnail(s) you would like to display on your non-image media (audio/video)

In-depth Outline

Follow below to further understand the components of your "Artwork Folder’"

  1. Inside your ‘media’ folder, there must be the correct number of artworks you intend to upload as part of your drop. It is essential to ensure you have placed the correct number of artworks in your folder because once you have created your collection, the number of artworks cannot be changed.

  2. These files must be formatted correctly and numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. Ensure there are no hash marks in the filenames

  3. Optional - A singular .csv file containing your collection’s metadata. A guide to formatting your .csv can be found here. Below is an example of what your .csv file can look like:

  4. Optional - A ‘thumbnails’ folder. If you are using non-image media (audio/video) for your drops collection, you can use a ‘thumbnails’ folder to upload images for marketplaces to display on list pages. By default, they will match on the filename (e.g. media/1.mp3 will link to thumbnails/1.png).

Your artwork folder is now suitable to go! Upload your artwork folder and continue with the creation of your drops collection.

Rules for .CSV file

There are some important details you must note when creating your .csv file.

  1. Row 1 of the document is reserved for the column header titles (The drops tool reads from row 2 and down when calling your artwork)

  2. “Name” should be the name that you want to display with your NFT. an example of this would be [collection name #1]

  3. The description allows you to add any extra information that you would like to accompany your NFTs.

  4. All columns from here can be used to input the different attributes for each of your NFTs. There is no limit to the number of attributes that you can have. The title of your attribute MUST be in the following format attributes[Attribute Name]

Your artwork folder is now good to go! Upload your artwork folder and continue with the creation of your drops collection.
