AES Encryption Explained: How It Works and Why It Matters

Generate ERC-721 and ERC-1155 compliant JSON metadata for NFTs with attributes, traits, images, and animation URLs.
Add traits like Background, Skin, Eyes, Rarity, Power Level, etc.
All metadata generation is performed 100% client-side in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
NFT metadata is a JSON document that describes an NFT's properties. It follows the ERC-721 (and ERC-1155) metadata standard, which defines how NFT metadata should be structured so that marketplaces like OpenSea, Rarible, and others can properly display your NFTs.
The standard metadata schema includes fields like name, description, image, and attributes (also called traits). The attributes array allows you to define on-chain properties of your NFT, which marketplaces display as trait badges.
Key metadata fields and their purposes:
{
"name": "NFT Name",
"description": "Description text",
"image": "https://...",
"external_url": "https://...",
"animation_url": "https://...",
"background_color": "0d0d1a",
"youtube_url": "https://youtube.com/...",
"attributes": [
{
"trait_type": "Background",
"value": "Neon City"
},
{
"trait_type": "Power Level",
"display_type": "number",
"value": 9000,
"max_value": 10000
},
{
"trait_type": "Boost",
"display_type": "boost_percentage",
"value": 45,
"max_value": 100
}
]
}
This standard is supported by OpenSea, Rarible, LooksRare, Blur, and most NFT marketplaces.
NFT metadata is typically stored on decentralized storage like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) or Arweave to ensure permanence and decentralization. You can also use a centralized server, but decentralized storage is recommended for security and immutability.
Both ERC-721 (unique NFTs) and ERC-1155 (semi-fungible tokens) use the same metadata JSON format. The metadata structure is identical, making this generator compatible with both standards.
The standard supports: string (default, no display_type needed), number (numeric value with optional max_value), boost_percentage (percentage boost, shown with %), and date (Unix timestamp).
In your ERC-721 contract, override the tokenURI() function to return a URL pointing to your metadata JSON. The URL typically includes the token ID, like https://example.com/metadata/{tokenId}.json.
Solana NFTs use a similar but slightly different metadata standard (Metaplex). While the structure differs, the general concept of name, description, image, and attributes is the same. You may need to adjust the output for Solana's specific schema.
