Store an image on IPFS and get its permanent content ID

Uploads an image to decentralized IPFS storage and returns a permanent content ID you can reuse anywhere.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

If you're minting NFTs or need proof an image hasn't been altered, storing it on a normal server isn't enough. Doing this by hand through developer tools takes technical know-how you may not have in house.

Who it fits

Artists, collectors, or brands creating NFTs or blockchain-verified digital assets.

How it works

  1. You provide a link to a publicly accessible image
  2. The image is uploaded to decentralized IPFS storage
  3. A unique content identifier is generated for the file
  4. You receive the content ID to use in your NFT or digital record
What you get

Images stored permanently with a content ID

You get your image uploaded to decentralized storage and a permanent content identifier ready to use in your NFT or digital record.

What you get

A permanent, tamper-proof content ID for the image, ready to use in an NFT or digital record.

What you need

An NFT.storage account with an API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
