For all users

What is NFT.Storage?

How does NFT.Storage aim to ensure the longevity of my NFTs?

What does it cost to use NFT.Storage?

How can I retrieve my NFT data from NFT.Storage?

We're enhancing data retrieval from NFT.Storage through collaboration with our Storage Providers to facilitate access via ipfs.io, a part of the decentralized IPFS network. This IPFS public gateway is currently under development to support efficient data retrieval. In the meantime, it's accessible for experimental use at ipfs.io/[enter CID].

For less frequent retrievals, get your content directly from the Filecoin storage provider. Learn more about retrieving from Storage Providers.

For more consistent, day-to-day retrieval needs, the IPFS.io gateway may not be suitable due to the varying reliability of this gateway. For a more suitable frequent retrieval use case, we recommend considering one of these options.
