# Create a Token

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding tokens to a collection will always be free, and you can always add more tokens to a collection!
{% endhint %}

Adding tokens to a collection comes at no cost. Through our art creation process, artists initially produce a virtual representation of the NFT without immediate blockchain minting. The actual minting occurs only if:

1. You decide to gift the NFT to yourself or others via an Airdrop, accessible in the 'Token Manager' tab.
2. A buyer chooses to mint your NFT from the dedicated mint page you generate.

**How to Create Your First NFT**:

1. **Access the Collection Tab**: Start by navigating to the Collection Tab on the platform.
2. **Select a Collection**: Click on the 'Add NFTs' button corresponding to the collection you'd like to add an NFT to.
3. **Verify Collection Name**: Once you're on the page titled 'Upload Artwork' ensure you're adding to the correct collection by verifying the collection name (see image below). 
4. **Enter Artwork Details**:
   * Fill out the Artwork Details and Price Rules forms.
   * Upload your artwork file. 
5. **Optional Steps**:
   * The 'Launch Details' forms and the Mint/Claim Conditions forms are optional, but you can fill them out if necessary for your NFT.
6. **Finalizing**: Once you've entered all the necessary details and uploaded your artwork, the 'Create Artwork' button will become enabled so that you can finalize and create the representation of the NFT. You will also be prompted to sign a signature request, ensuring that all details entered are correct.
