Implementing NFT file sizing in your NFT art project

NFT File and sizing explained by 3D Gladiator

What happens if my NFT file is too big?

An NFT which is too large might cause a few things to happen:

  1. Your NFT may be rejected
  2. Your NFT may upload corrupted
  3. Your NFT may not upload at all

What File Formats Can Be Used in NFT? 

There are many file types that can be used when crafting an NFT. If your NFTR art is a video file (WEBM), GIF, GLB, or an image file (JPG, PNG), it will be possible to upload your NFT to a marketplace as long as it doesn’t exceed the maximum file size.
