<h2>Select an NFT Marketplace</h2>Creating NFTs is easier than it seems. Since OpenSea is one of the most popular NFT marketplaces, we’ll demonstrate the entire process of making NFTs on OpenSea itself.<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0.png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> <h2>Setting up your first NFT collection</h2>To turn your digital art into NFTs on OpenSea (the process is similar on other marketplaces), log into your account using your wallet and click Create.<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0 (1).png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false">You'll be taken to the NFT item creation page. There is quite a lot here, let's go in order:Prepare your digital fileFirst, you need to import the file you want to turn into NFT. To do this, you can click on the square area (in the screenshot below). Above this area are the supported formats and the maximum file size.Then pick a name for your collection.<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0 (2).png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> <h2>Fill in the details</h2>External link - here you can add a link to your site with your work or a link to more detailed information about a particular work. An optional field.Description - description of your work. Also the optional field, but we advise you not to skip this field, the description plays a rather important role in evaluating your work.Next, you’ll come across the Collection section where you may include or add your NFT under a certain collection name or type. This field is for those who already have several collections.&nbsp;<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0 (3).png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> The next 3 fields are settings for the individual characteristics of your NFT, which are mainly used to find specific works in collections.<ol><li>Properties are textual traits of the object, a kind of hashtags displayed on the sidebar, which will make it easier for users to find a specific work in your collection (for example, if you have a collection of characters, you can filter them by gender, hair color or clothes).</li><li>Levels - numerical traits that show as a progress bar, they will also be displayed in the sidebar.</li><li>Stats - numerical traits, for example, the date of creation of the work (not the date of the NFT mint, but the date of creation of the work itself).</li></ol>Properties and levels make it easier for buyers to filter your work when exploring your collection, so add them where relevant. An example of a property would be ‘Year of creation’ – ‘2022’. These fields are all case-sensitive, so be careful with spelling if you’re trying to add the same attribute to multiple NFTs.It’s also possible to add unlockable content that only the item owner can view. Examples of unlockable content include higher resolution files, contact info for redeeming physical items, access keys, links to the secret telegram chat, and more.Explicit &amp; Sensitive Content - indicate if the work contains 18+ content.Supply - the number of items that can be minted, if you are creating a token for the first time, most likely only one will be available here.Choose which blockchain you want to mint on. The opinions are the Ethereum blockchain and the Polygon blockchain. If you want to pay zero gas fees, choose the Polygon option.<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0 (4).png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> <h2>Freezing NFT metadata</h2>Freeze metadata - freezing your metadata will permanently lock and store it on decentralized file storage, which allows your data to be accessible for other clients to view and use. This means your item will forever be safely stored and will never be lost or missing.&nbsp;Freezing metadata locks the following information about the file:<ul><li>Item name</li><li>File type (JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, MP4, WEBM, MP3, WAV, OGG, GLB, GLTF)</li><li>Description</li><li>Properties, levels, and stats</li></ul><img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/630f43d098036098b82ea122/pasted image 0 (5).png" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> Once you're done customizing your NFT, click Create.

<h2>Understanding Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)</h2>NFT stands for non-fungible token…usually, this is how any article or guide about NFT begins. But it doesn’t quite get to the meat of the thing. So let's look at it from the other side.If you exchange your $20 bill for your mom's $20 bill, nothing really changes. While they are two different pieces of fancy paper, both bills represent the same exact value. This is called fungibility.&nbsp;“Non-fungible” means something is one-of-a-kind and it can neither be replaced nor interchanged because it has unique properties.&nbsp;An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, video, GIFs, music, in-game items, and so on. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and they are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos.So if NFTs are digital, what’s stopping me from taking screenshots or downloading them?Sure, you can take a screenshot of an NFT image, the same way you can take a photo of the original Mona Lisa with your phone. However, you’re still not the original owner of the NFT or the Mona Lisa. In fact, the more people share their iPhone pics of the Mona Lisa, the more the painting's cultural relevance continues to grow, and the more value the original painting has.&nbsp;<img src="http://files.nftbirdies.com/data/images/article/62f6342c4594c41dd59e3205/0x0.jpg" alt="alt text" contenteditable="false"> NFTs are designed to give you something that can’t be copied: ownership of the work (though the artist can still retain the copyright and reproduction rights, just like with physical artwork). To put it in terms of physical art collecting: anyone can buy a Leonardo da Vinci work. But only one person can own the original.An NFT allows the buyer to own the original item. Not only that, it contains built-in authentication, which serves as proof of ownership. Collectors value those “digital bragging rights” almost more than the item itself. So this explains why NFTs are unique and cannot be replaced.&nbsp;Once again, each NFT has a unique signature that verifies the authenticity and any transactions related to it — who created it, who owns it, who sold it and for how much, etc. Creating an NFT is called minting. When a digital file gets minted, an NFT is generated and stored on a blockchain.<h2>Types of NFTs</h2>You can explore the many different types of non-fungible digital assets in the market. The uninformed may think it's simply art. It's much more than that. Here are some examples:<ul><li>Art</li><li>Music</li><li>Photography</li><li>Games</li><li>Collectibles</li><li>Sports</li><li>etc&nbsp;</li></ul>All other types can be found on our website in the <a href="https://nftbirdies.com/tags/">Tags </a>section.<h2>Popular NFT Marketplaces</h2>You can buy, sell, trade, and create NFTs from online exchanges or marketplaces.
