This creator mints a compressed NFT (cNFT) with Metaplex Bubblegum. Connect the wallet that should pay the fee, add the image and metadata, and sign. For a Metaplex Core NFT, use Create Core NFT instead.

Collection Options

Enable 'Add Creators' to set royalty fees.

Notice: 0.05 SOL platform contribution is included in this transaction. Network fees apply separately. This is important so we keep the platform up and running for you.

How this minter works

  1. Connect a Solana wallet on the network selected in the header.
  2. Enter the name, symbol, and description.
  3. Upload the image. Optional: website URL, collection address, attributes, and creators with a royalty basis-point value.
  4. Choose whether metadata stays mutable.
  5. Submit. The tool uploads metadata, then asks your wallet to sign the Bubblegum mint.

What you need

NFT metadata

Name, symbol, description, image, and attributes are written to a metadata JSON file. The NFT account points at that URI. If you leave metadata mutable, a later update can change that URI. Immutable metadata cannot be edited after mint.

Cost

The tool does not charge a platform mint fee on this form. You pay Solana network fees and the storage upload. Compressed mints are cheaper than a full Token Metadata mint because the leaf lives in a Merkle tree, but the exact SOL depends on the network and the upload. Nothing on this page is a fixed price.

After minting

The wallet receives the compressed asset. You can open it in your wallet or a DAS-aware explorer. It is not a Core asset. To mint into a Core collection, use Create a Metaplex Core NFT. To understand the standards first, read how to create an NFT on Solana.
