How to Make NFT Art for Free: Step-by-Step

TL;DR

1. Set up a crypto wallet: Before creating an NFT, get a wallet like MetaMask. Refer to guides on how to set it up.
2. Create an account on an NFT marketplace: Go to platforms like OpenSea or Rarible. Sign up by connecting your wallet; you may need to provide a name and email.
3. Connect your NFT marketplace account to your wallet: This enables transactions, stores your NFTs, and allows wallet-based login. Follow prompts to link them.
4. Create some art: Make a digital file in supported formats like PNG, GIF, WEBP, MP4, or MP3.
5. Upload the art: After linking your wallet, click "Create" on the marketplace, select your blockchain (e.g., for free options), choose "single" for a one-of-one NFT, and upload your file.
6. Choose free minting: Opt for lazy minting to avoid upfront gas fees. The NFT lists for free, and fees are paid by the buyer upon sale. You can set it for fixed price or auction.
