We can mint NFT easily with NFT Minter. On our side this will not cost any fee, only signing transaction. NFT will be created under colletion named: Non-Fungible Matic V2 V2
- If you are interested in minting only unit quantities of NFT then NFT Minter is best way for you.
- If you are interested in creating your own collection then you should use Unifty, but keep in mind that creating a collection will require fee.
As we see there two ways to create NFT, mint with exist collection or create new collection. Second choice is perfect if you want to control circulate and total supply of your NFT under your collection.
Here we will look at process of minting NFT with NFT Minter.

We need to connect a wallet to use website, we have 3 ways:
I prefer to use MetaMask, if it’s your first time of use then you should set up wallet to use with Matic Network. You can find detailed guide here or use Chainlist to add Matic Network on your wallet.

First when your picture or media file has been uploaded on website.
Second when you click on Mint NFT button.
