NFT deploy information
Since the inception of Ordinals, blockchain has been increasingly used as a storage point for storing an image.
Because the blockchain of Credits lends itself more to speed than block size, there are some size/size limitations for inscribing images.
Image conversion
The first step is the size of the image. Try to keep it at a maximum size of 500 pixels wide/high.
1. Website for resizing images
When the image has to correct sizing it needs to be converted from PNG/JPG to WEBP. This is really important for reducing file size of the image and therefor the costs for inscribing.
2. WEBP conversion website

Once the image has the correct size and filetype for inscribing, it needs to be converted to BASE64 code.
3. BASE64 conversion website
* Scroll down this website, choose to select a file. Leave the settings at BINARY (no conv.) and encode the image. The file with BASE64 can be downloaded after encoding is done.
Thru the website below the BASE64 code can be checked wether the image conversion is correctly done.

Uploading your NFT
Once the above steps are completed, you can inscribe the BASE64 code under the “userdata” field in the Credits Wallet website as explained on this webpage.
Keep in mind that the file size of the image (and therefor length of the BASE64 code) will be relevant for the amount of Credits (CS) that you need to pay for inscribing as fee. Below you can find the current rates for inscribing images on the Credits blockchain.
