# Creator studio

Create prepares text, images, and supported files as Ethscription data. You can edit and preview without a wallet, then connect and approve an Ethereum transaction when you are ready to publish.

## Before you start

* Guests can edit content and keep local drafts, but cannot inscribe.
* Inscription requires a verified wallet on the correct Ethereum network and enough ETH for gas.
* The final encoded content, including optional metadata, must be 150 KB or smaller.
* Drafts stay on the current device. They are not cloud backups.
* Inscribing is an Ethereum transaction. Published content cannot be edited or removed through the creator studio.

## Find Create

Select **Create** in the bottom navigation on mobile or the left navigation on desktop. Then choose **Upload**, **Pixel**, or **Text**.

## Create a text Ethscription

1. Open **Create** and choose **Text**.
2. Select **Plain text**, **Markdown**, **JSON**, or **HTML**.
3. Write or paste your content.
4. Use **Attach file** only when the selected format supports the attachment you need.
5. Select **Preview** and confirm the rendered result.
6. Review the character count, encoded size, and gas estimate.
7. Add an optional destination or collection metadata from **Inscribe options**.
8. Select **Inscribe** and complete the wallet review.

Do not enter secrets in HTML or other published content. Everything included in the Ethscription can become public.

## Upload and inscribe a file

1. Open **Create** and choose **Upload**.
2. Drop a file into **Drop your file here**, or select the area to browse your device.
3. Confirm the file name and preview when one is available.
4. Review the encoded **Size** and estimated **Gas**.
5. Turn on **Use Gzip Compression** only when the estimate shows useful savings and the content type supports it.
6. Add optional destination or collection information from **Inscribe options**.
7. Select **Inscribe** and complete the wallet review.

Images can enter the processing flow up to 10 MB. Other supported files use a 1 MB input limit. The final encoded result must still fit within 150 KB.

Use **Choose another file** if the selected file is wrong. Already compressed files can stay the same size or become larger with gzip.

## Edit and inscribe an image

1. Choose **Upload** and select an image.
2. Use **Edit** to adjust scale, pan the preview, flip horizontally, preserve sharp edges for pixel art, or choose a supported format.
3. Use **Compress** or compatible **Gzip** controls while watching the size and gas values.
4. Select **Preview** to inspect the final result.
5. If the final size is 150 KB or smaller, add any destination or metadata options.
6. Select **Inscribe** and approve the wallet transaction.

If compression makes the image larger, floored keeps the original. **Reset** returns the image editor to its initial state.

To make pixel-level changes, select **Edit as pixels** when it appears. See [Pixel art studio](/features/pixel-art).

## Save a draft

1. Prepare text, an image, or a file in Create.
2. Open **Drafts**.
3. Select **Save draft**.
4. Look for **Draft saved**.

Use **Update draft** after changing a saved draft. To continue older work, open **Drafts** and select **Restore draft**. **Draft restored** confirms that it is active in the editor.

To remove a saved copy, select **Delete draft** and confirm. If that draft is open, the editor remains available as an unsaved draft.

floored stores up to six drafts within a combined 12 MB device limit. If storage is full, delete an older draft or reduce its size. Clearing browser or app data can remove drafts.

## Inscribe to another address

By default, the connected wallet becomes the initial owner. To choose another owner:

1. Open **Inscribe options**.
2. Choose **Inscribe to Address**.
3. Enter a complete Ethereum address or ENS name.
4. Confirm the resolved destination.
5. Return to the editor and continue with **Inscribe**.

Use **Remove address** in Inscribe options to restore the connected wallet as the destination. Always verify the destination in the final wallet review.

## Add collection metadata

1. Prepare the content in Create.
2. Open **Inscribe options**.
3. Choose **Create New Collection** or **Add to Existing Collection**.
4. Complete the collection and item fields.
5. Select **Done** to return to the editor.
6. Confirm that the metadata still fits within the final 150 KB limit.

Use **Remove metadata** if you no longer want to include it. Removing metadata discards the unsaved metadata changes. See [Metadata and collections](/features/metadata-collections) for the full workflow.

## Review and inscribe

Before selecting **Inscribe**, check:

* The final content and preview
* Encoded size of 150 KB or less
* Destination address
* Collection and item metadata, if used
* Estimated gas
* Active wallet and network

Then:

1. Select **Inscribe**.
2. Wait for **Check wallet** and review the transaction.
3. Approve only if the destination, transaction data, network, and fee match your choices.
4. Wait through **Confirming on Ethereum**.

The transaction transfers 0 ETH as the inscription value, but you still pay Ethereum gas. The content is stored in the transaction data.

## How to know it worked

**Ethscription created** means the Ethereum transaction confirmed. The completion screen shows its transaction hash and can offer:

* **View**
* **Share**
* **List**
* **Transfer**
* **Create another**

You can browse auctions in Market, but floored does not currently provide auction actions.

If the screen says **Created on Ethereum. Collection confirmation is still pending**, the Ethscription exists. Only the separate collection update is still processing. If the collection update is rejected, use the transaction details to verify the created Ethscription and review the metadata before another attempt.

## If Create blocks the next step

* **Inscribe is unavailable:** Connect and verify a wallet, add content, and resolve any size or validation error.
* **File is too large:** Reduce image dimensions or quality, choose another format, enable useful compression, or select a smaller file.
* **Draft storage is full:** Delete an older saved draft or reduce its size.
* **Draft storage is unavailable:** Keep the current editor open and try saving again later.
* **Image processing fails:** Reopen the original image or choose a simpler supported format.
* **Wallet transaction fails:** Keep the draft, check the wallet, network, balance, and fee, then retry only after understanding the failure.
* **Created item is not visible yet:** Open the transaction from the completion screen and allow time for floored to process it.

See [Fees and confirmations](/concepts/fees-confirmations), [Safety](/guide/safety), and [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting) before retrying an uncertain transaction.
