What is an NFT?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have taken over the world by storm. But what are they?

Simply put, an NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world stuff such as photos, art, music, in-game items, and videos. You can buy and trade them online, often using cryptocurrency, and they’re usually encoded with the same software as many other cryptos.

If you’re a photographer, you now have access to a new marketplace where you can make an NFT from your images and put them up for sale. And no, when you sell your image as an NFT, the buyer does not get the original file.

You still sell copies of the original image but since NFTs are stored in blockchains and cannot be copied, the owners can now provide a unique proof of ownership – and that’s what makes NFTs really convenient.

How to Make NFT From Photos

Broadly speaking, converting your photos to NFTs is a two-step process. First, you need to ready your image by giving them a unique look so they become  more desirable. Then you need to “mint” them and get them on the blockchain network so that you can sell them.
