The old way of making NFT collections

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are all the rage these days. It seems like people can’t get enough of them. Whether by FOMO, hype, or sheer appreciation for the art, the market rarely cools down for the pricey JPEGs it seems. But until recently, those who benefit the most from the sale of NFTs are anonymous developers who use their saavy coding experience to do what others can’t — write smart contracts that create generative, one-of-a-kind art and mint it to the blockchain, usually on Ethereum.

What if I told you that you can create your own generative art without being an artist and without knowing how to code? We now have platforms that let us do exactly that. That’s right — generate NFT collections without code! Here are 7 of the best no-code NFT makers in existence today.

Mintplex

First up, we have Mintplex which is a comprehensive NFT minting engine that lets you create ERC-721A or ERC-1155 collections on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and even Avalanche. Just setup your contract using the simple interface, upload your artwork and deploy. You can also quickly create snapshot votes, websites, and other cool stuff with their integrations feature. The tool is completely free to use, but Mintplex Pro is available if you want more advanced analytics and other features.

Bueno

Next up is Bueno. Bueno is a super simply, yet powerful set of tools for artists and creators to deploy an NFT collection in just minutes. You can set the rarity of traits, setup allowlists, and even create 1-of-1 NFTs on either Ethereum or Polygon. You can also generate a boilerplate Mint button that can be embedded on your website, making it easy for anyone to generate and sell an NFT collection. Bueno is completely free to use, but their contract does take 5% of primary sales. Any secondary sales royalties (i.e. Opensea, etc.) are 100% controlled by you.

NFT-inator

Ever heard of Diamond Hands Hotel? Their agency has been consistently pumping out some quality web3 tooling, and NFT-inator is no exception. NFT-inator is a completely free NFT collection generator that lets you create collections for Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon. You can upload your artwork, control rarity, edit the metadata, and even control the output quality. Setup royalties, edit trait names, and so much more. With their paid Verify tool, you can attach unlockables to your NFT collections as well.

The NFT Generator

Someone clearly knows how to name a product to fit SEO needs. But don’t let that fool you. The NFT Generator is one of the most straightforward options, providing both a generator and a smart contract creator. This makes it easy to upload NFT layers, generate the collection, upload, and deploy the contract. They also offer graphic design services and the pricing at $99/month (paid annually) is quite good considering you get unlimited credits to use. You even get lazy-minting of NFTs, a whitelist, and a no-code website and mint button.

NiftyKit

If you need a suite of premium tools to help you launch your NFT collection, look no further than NiftyKit. While NiftyKit is a paid platform, it’s also an extremely refined product that offers unlimited minting on Ethereum and Polygon for just $49/month at time of writing. By making use of their NiftyKit product or SDK (software development kit), you can easily create ERC721 smart contracts to mint from. Then make use of their DropKit product to upload artwork and generate NFTs.

NiftyPixels

If you’ve ever wanted to create cool pixel-art NFTs like CryptoPunks or Weird Whales? Then this last tool is perfect — check out NiftyPixels. While it’s not good for doing generative art collections, with enough patience and a creative mind, you could create a whole collection of 1-of-1 pixel-art NFTs and sell them right in NiftyPixels’ marketplace, which runs exclusively on Polygon. As far as I could tell, NiftyPixels is completely free to use!

Thirdweb

While Thirdweb initially only provided SDKs and boilerplate smart contract code, they’ve started providing a slick user interface for doing this as well. You can create NFT collections and drops by creating the collection first, uploading the finished artwork files and metadata CSV second, then deploying the contract and embedding a mint button on your website. Thirdweb has made it easy to create and deploy NFT collections on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and even Fantom. Did I mention you just pay gas to deploy and that their pre-built contracts are audited? Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Get to it!

So there you have it — 7 awesome no-code tools that you can use to create, generate, and deploy your own NFT collection. Who knew it was so easy to do big developer things without actually being a developer?
