NFTs have become a normal part of doing business for artists. Many have made a lot of money by creating and selling NFTs, especially NFT Collections which have created profits reaching millions of dollars.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a great example. They have 10,000 images of apes, but each ape has different characteristics.
You’ve probably seen them, but maybe you don’t know how they can create so many images. The answer is simple, the images are not created manually, but by a software usually called an “NFT Generator”
Let us explain more.
What is an NFT generator?
An NFT generator is a technology that uses special software to automatically create images in mass. These images will be similar but will have different characteristics between them (these differences are called “traits”).
This technology can create thousands of NFTs for blockchain platforms, so the creators can start selling the collections they’ve created almost instantly. This technology saves hundreds of hours of work to create thousands of images.
How does an NFT generator work?
The software of an NFT generator is very simple and with the help of a simple drag-and-drop interface, anyone can create these NFT Collections.
An NFT generator works with Artificial Intelligence that allows thousands of NFTs to be created with great speed. For this, the generator uses the information given to it by the creator.
When starting the creation, the artist indicates what is the base and what are the possible characteristics of the collection of NFTs. For example, you can create a base with a cat that has different colors, and you can add features like outfits or accessories, and create 10 or 20 variants of each accessory.
When you create these features for your collection, Artificial Intelligence will start to do its job. After waiting, you will have thousands of images in your collection and you can start selling your unique NFTs.

Can artists use NFT generators?
Definitely.
If you are an artist and you want to start selling your own NFTs, the artificial intelligence used by the “NFT generators” (software) allows you to create thousands of NFTs based on your works.
To do so, you first have to draw and digitalize the features we mentioned earlier. You can do things like the characters that you will have in your collection, the characteristics that they can have, and the accessories.
When you have all this ready, then you can upload the image files to the software so that the AI starts working with them. In no time you’d have your NFTs based on what you drew and ordered for the software to do.
Once you are ready you can put your collection up for sale in any of the big NFT marketplaces!
Random NFT and traits Generator
One benefit of NFT generators is that they are completely random. This means that the generator software will create NFTs with different combinations, alternating between the traits you offered without duplicates.
No code NFT collection generator
Another benefit of the NFT collection generator is that most of them are “No Code”, so you need any coding knowledge. The software is ready to do the work for you.
You will find some of our favorite ones at the bottom of this article.
What is an NFT generator pad?
NFT Generator Pad is pre-programmed software that was made open to the public so that it could be completely free to download. This software allows you to create up to 10,000 unique NFTs.
NFT generator with rarity
In NFT collections there are different types of NFTs. The rarities on the NFTs indicate what chance each NFT in the collection has. The more rare an NFT is, the more value it will have in the collection.
In a generator, you can find the option to choose how many NFTs you want to create for each rarity.
For example, the NFT Generator Pad allows you to choose how many percentages of “Common”, “Epic”, “Legendary”, and “Rare” NFTs you want to create from your collection. Each of this terms refer to how rare your NFTs can be.
How to choose an NFT generator?
Now you know what an NFT generator is and how it works, it's time to show you how you can choose the best NFT generator for your collection.
There are different characteristics that you have to take into account when choosing an NFT generator:
Cost
If you start looking for NFT generators on the internet, you will find that there is a large list of generators and each one with a different price. There are generators that charge too much money to make an NFT collection, but there are also other generators that are completely free that you can use at no cost.
What you have to look for is what best suits your budget. If you have a high budget to generate your collection, you can afford to pay for NFT generators. But if you don't have a budget, you can also choose to use free generators.
Also keep in mind that paid generators are not always better than free generators. There are many generators that do not charge to use them and that have excellent quality.
Tools
Another feature that you have to take into account when choosing your NFT generator is the tools available to create the collection.
There are many generators that do not have enough tools or have bugs that do not allow artists to create their NFTs. This is why you have to know what are the tools that you are going to use to create the collection of NFTs.
Make sure that the NFT generator has enough tools to upload what you need, that you can edit the most important things and that the collection is how you want it.
Quality
Many NFT generators may be well priced and have all the tools you need, but you also have to make sure it is of perfect quality.
The NFT generator has to be easy to use, the tools have to be understandable and the process has to be simple. If you find many complications that do not allow you to move quickly to complete your collection of NFTs, you will have to find a generator that does not give you too many problems.
