How to Create an NFT on Polygon (No Code, 2026 Guide)
iMintify· Published July 5, 2026· Updated July 24, 2026
Polygon gives you Ethereum compatibility without Ethereum fees. It is an EVM layer-2, so your NFTs use the same ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards and list on OpenSea, but minting costs a few cents instead of a lot. That makes it perfect for free mints and big collections. Here is how to create an NFT on Polygon with no code, using iMintify.
Why create an NFT on Polygon?
Low cost with EVM reach. Polygon settles to Ethereum, so collectors and marketplaces treat it as part of the Ethereum world, but the gas is tiny. If you want the OpenSea audience without mainnet fees, or you plan a free or low-price mint, Polygon is a strong pick.
How to create an NFT on Polygon, step by step
- Generate or upload art. Use the AI generator or the layer generator.
- Deploy on Polygon. In Deploy Collection, choose Polygon and your standard (ERC-721 or ERC-1155). No code.
- Configure the drop. Set supply, price, royalties and allowlist in the wizard.
- Mint site or marketplace. Launch a hosted mint page, or deploy and list on OpenSea on Polygon.
- Deploy to your wallet. Sign once with MetaMask; the contract is yours.
Polygon vs Ethereum vs Solana
Choose Polygon for cheap EVM mints with OpenSea support, Ethereum for maximum prestige and liquidity, and Solana for the lowest fees and huge drops. iMintify supports all of them from the same deploy step.
What it costs
Free to create and deploy, with Polygon gas of just a few cents per mint. New to NFTs? Read what is an NFT or the full how to create an NFT guide.
