{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Pros" %}
* single NFTs and collections can be minted
* convenient and accessible for newbies - very user friendly
* includes images, video and audio
* can mint NSFW images
* add specific traits and properties to your NFTs, including a rarity system - these can also be changed post mint
* offers free to mint option with Algogem as the creator wallet (to cover fees)  - you still receive all proceeds and royalties, minus fees (in the manager’s wallet): there is a 0.001 ALGO transaction cost
* determine the percentage of royalties to be paid to your wallet
* can add a glyph - i.e. your own signature to a creation that is stored on-chain, in the metadata
* mint and list NFTs directly from your phone

### [High Forge](https://highforge.io/)

* developed by the founders of AlgoSeas
* a turn-key NFT generator/launchpad for Algorand

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Pros" %}
* very easy to use, turnkey solution: does the entire process
* distribute your NFTs through a live mint (i.e. only added to the blockchain when an NFT is minted), thus preventing rarity sniping - choosing which rarities you want (this is common on the Algorand blockchain)
* easy to add traits and rarities via a user-friendly input screen
* can set the date and time for your project to launch, plus early access prices
* determine royalties for your wallet
* good help facilities: Discord and Twitter
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Cons" %}
* somewhat high fees - 10% of sales price when your NFT sells

### [Rand Gallery](https://www.randgallery.com/algo-collection/)

* a quick and easy minting tool best suited for 1 of 1 non-generative NFTs

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Pros" %}
* very easy to use - ideal for newbies or those with a single NFT  (process takes about 30 seconds)
* pleasant-looking interface
* mint videos also
* only pay transaction costs - 0.01
* approved artists can sell straight into the Rand Gallery marketplace
* set the royalty percentage to be paid into your wallet
* can add an external URL
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Cons" %}
* mostly suited for minting a single NFT, though you can add collection filters and multi-minting: can shuffle mint up to 10 NFTs
* need to get approval as an artist first to sell NFTs (to prevent forgeries)
* can’t add metadata
