# Generating metadata for your artwork

In this article you will learn how to generate the metadata for your NFT collection with Mintpad's Generator. You will only need to use this tutorial if you already created all the NFT images for your collection, and only need the JSON files.

If you still need to generate your images you should follow the tutorial "[Generating Unique NFTs](/nft-generator-tutorials/generating-unique-nfts.md)".

## Here are the steps:

1\. Create a folder with the collection name. In our example we called it "My NFT Collection".\
\
2\. In that folder create another folder with the collection name (in our example we called it "My NFT Collection").&#x20;

*Normally you create folders like "Background", "Eyes", "Hat" etc. but since you already made the NFT artwork you can create one folder with the collection name.*\
\
3\. Place your artwork as a PNG in that folder.\
\
5\. You can now upload the parent folder (in our example the folder "My NFT Collection", the one at the left, not the middle one) in the Mintpad generator, You can now start generating the metadata and set the number of NFTs.
