Turn AI artwork into a Hedera NFT

Take an AI image through selection, metadata, IPFS pinning and minting in DreamForge. Check the artwork and applicable use terms before publishing.

An AI generation gives you a media file. Minting an NFT is a separate process: choose the final file, describe it, store the files and create the NFT serial. DreamForge connects the creator work, but each stage still needs a review.

Step 1: Make the image you want to release

Open the AI image tools and choose the available model and settings for your task. Read the quote before generating.

Keep the result you want to use, along with the model and creation details you need for your own records. A prompt is a starting point. Inspect the actual image at its intended display size before deciding it is finished.

Step 2: Check the artwork and its use terms

Look closely at small objects, text, hands and repeated details. Make the edits the image needs before it becomes part of a collection.

Check the applicable model terms and the rights to source images, logos or other material you supplied. Minting a file does not resolve a rights issue. If you describe how the work was made, keep that description accurate.

Step 3: Prepare the NFT entry

Open your collection in DreamForge and add the final artwork in Prepare & mint. Give it a useful name and description. Add traits that describe the actual finished item rather than every word in the original prompt.

Set Copies to the number you intend to mint. Review the preview before moving on.

Step 4: Pin and mint

Pin the media and metadata, check their addresses and preview, then mint the selected entry. Review each quote and confirmation presented by SentX and your connected wallet.

When the mint succeeds, check the token ID and serial in My NFTs. That is the NFT created from your selected artwork; discarded generation drafts are not automatically part of it.

Step 5: Decide how to release it

You can keep the NFT, list it or prepare a launch. Write the release description around the finished work and what a collector receives. Generating an image is not a guarantee that someone will buy it.

For the complete product steps, follow Mint your first collection. For several related works, read the bulk preparation guide.

If an operation stops updating

Check which stage you were in. A generation result, pinned file and minted serial are different outputs. Inspect the existing operation and any payment before repeating it; keep its reference for support.
