  • At first, in order to get some sales, we suggest pricing artworks in the low hundreds, which could mean anything from £100-£300. Once some artworks are selling, you should start raising prices as you feel is appropriate.
  • A second method to consider is to pick a percentage of the sale price of your original artworks (for example 80% or 50%), and apply that to the price of your artwork, for example a £1,000 artwork would become £800 or £500 in it's NFT form.

All artists using The Pixel Gallery are required to indicate that they agree to our document called the "Artist's Declaration" before being allowed to submit any artworks.


The Artist's Declaration is shown below:


Giclee prints and postcards would be allowed under the terms of our website, as would sales of all physical forms of the artwork. What we prohibit is for someone to sell an NFT of the same artwork on another website at the same time as, or after selling it on The Pixel Gallery.

Artworks are initially added to our platform as “listings” only, and we mint the NFTs as they are purchased. This means if the artwork hasn’t sold, there won’t be any NFTs of it in circulation. On that basis we’d be ok with you listing that artwork on another platform (provided the artwork is also unlisted from our site). Re-listing an artwork for sale as an NFT only becomes problematic when NFTs of it has already been sold.

We have decided not to impose a minimum file size for the following reasons:
  • Some artistic genres, such as procedural or generative art may naturally have low file sizes since the images are produced by computer code. This can be considered as part of the elegance or style of the artwork.
  • Low image file sizes can always be “upsampled” to create a larger image file size without improving the image quality. This means any file size limit would be meaningless in practice, since the file size of an image can be manipulated to be any arbitrarily large number and it would encourage misleadingly high file sized images to be added to the website
  • File size does not correspond to image quality: Jpeg compression algorithms are so good that often very high quality images can be compressed to low file sizes without a perceptible difference to the human eye. Adding a file size limit might mean that a jpeg with a high quality compression algorithm would not be allowed, while a much lower quality image that is a lossless image format (such as .bmp) would be allowed.
Of course, we still encourage arists to upload the highest possible quality images of the artwork available to them. We have been known to take images down from the website that we do not believe to be of suitable quality to sell. The file size and image quality should be appropriate to the type of artwork being listed, in particular photographs of physical artworks should be high quality.
