# Generative Collection

Unlock your artistic potential with two exciting options for generating stunning art effortlessly. Choose the user-friendly [**NFT Generator App**](https://docs.niftykit.com/customize-your-experience/available-apps/nft-generator-desktop-app) to import your layers, generate artwork with metadata, and upload seamlessly to IPFS – all without any coding hassle. Or dive into innovation with our [**Open Generative App**](#to-activate-the-open-generative-app-follow-these-steps), where art is created when minting happens. Artists provide different layers, and the blockchain decides the final artwork. This will create unique versions of your art in infinite quantity. 

You can enable this feature for both new and existing **Diamond Drop Collections.**
