Note: NFT stands for “non-fungible token.” It is a digital collectible that serves as a digital representation of photos, music, and even videos.
Recently, NFTs have been in the mouths of crypto investors, who are currently making the most of them in the crypto space.
Also, due to the current dwindling situation in the crypto market, NFTs have gone ahead to provide some sort of succor to crypto investors.
Below are the steps to follow, which are easy to understand and, after you have gone through them, you will be converting your photos into NFT art in no time.
Step 1: Select the photo you want to convert
NFTs are digital representations of a lot of things, ranging from photos, songs, and paintings, to videos, and the list goes on. As such, you need to select the right photo from your desktop or mobile device that suits you best and that you are best at.
Step 2: Choose a Blockchain
Before converting the photo into an NFT art, it is critical to select a suitable blockchain platform on which to issue the NFTs.
There are several blockchain systems accessible today, each having its own NFT token standard, wallet compatibility, and marketplace.
This implies that an NFT token generated on a certain blockchain platform can only be sold and bought on that platform. As a result, selecting the right blockchain platform is important.
The Ethereum blockchain, for instance, is now the market leader in the issue of NFTs. As a result, it is preferable to use Ethereum to create your NFT as it is one of the most popular NFT blockchains in the crypto market.
The ERC-721 is the Ethereum-based NFT token standard supported by Ethereum wallets such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet.
There are also other blockchain systems out there apart from Ethereum, such as Binance Smart Chain and Tezos, to name a few.
Step 3: Purchase a reasonable amount of Ethereum
In most digital art marketplaces, there are fees (such as gas fees) associated with converting photos to NFT art. So you will have to purchase some amount of Ethereum if you want to finish up your conversion.
Step 4: Connect the wallet to the NFT Marketplace
After purchasing Ethereum, it’s time to choose a proper marketplace to enroll in NFT. When creating or converting a photo into NFT art, it is best to use Rarible or OpenSea if you are a beginner.
These platforms are easy to use and are suitable for inexperienced users because of their simplistic design. After choosing the platform, you will then select a wallet such as Metamask or Coinbase wallet to complete the transaction.
Step 5: Create an NFT artist account
When the wallet is finished, it’s time to convert your photo into an NFT art. To accomplish this, simply register as an artist on the marketplace you chose.
In the upper right corner of every NFT marketplace, there is a “create” button. Simply click that button, and you will be prompted to connect with your Ethereum wallet. For added security, a digital signature may be required.
Next will be my collection’s place, and a new window will appear, allowing you to upload their photo along with a name and description. This is a necessary step in the creation of the NFT folder.
Once this uploading is done, you will need to add a banner to the page by clicking on the pencil icon, and you are done creating an NFT account as a new artist.
