### Before we start

You will need a **warpcast account**, if you still don't have one you can **use my invite link and get 50 WARPS gift**: [https://warpcast.com/~/invite-page/332881?id=f5ccdcdf](https://warpcast.com/~/invite-page/332881?id=f5ccdcdf).

Also you will need a [Pinata account](https://app.pinata.cloud/). Is free.

And **your art** you want to give as free mint.

### Uploading your art to Pinata

Once you've created and verified your Pinata accont, click on **Upload** and select **File**.

Notice max file size is 25 GB.

**Click to upload**, select your file and change the name if needed.

Now just wait some time depending on your file size.

Copy your **image ID** by clicking on this icon and paste it somewhere like notepad or whatever.

Now go to **Gateways** and **copy yours**.

It would be something like: **purple-relative-jay-333.mypinata.cloud** add the following: **/ipfs/** and then **your image ID**.

At the end your URL should be something like this:

**http://purple-relative-jay-333.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmczm3kKcys4SY9k6tdhPDgVNXTsH2eTfYJp5J2xnG5k2N**

Copy that URL.

### Now let's create the mint frame!

Go to this cast: [https://warpcast.com/n/0x26941dae](https://warpcast.com/n/0x26941dae) (by @n on /whoami channel) and click on **Create**.

Paste the URL you created before and then click on **Next**:

Specify if you will require **Follow for mint**:

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c76640be8776728c45a319a896d77e34.png)

Now specify if you will require **Like and Recast** for the mint:

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2b6ec12412739d59fa4e503776a7205d.png)

Pick a name for your NFT and then click on **Create Free Min**t.

For this case I used a gif and I got "Image failed to load" but still I will give it a try!

Now click on **Share free mint link**!

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0a64259b96fd247d1ad23b0c3b201c20.png)

You can edit the info before casting, in this case I will include the image... then CAST!

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/21a43c49f2a47e726d2c43ff678f5d3d.png)

Copy the link before casting in case you want to share it again later "[https://far.quest/contracts/degen/i-am-not](https://far.quest/contracts/degen/i-am-not)"

**And that's all! Now you have your free mint ready to go!**
