# Piñata

Bueno offers an "Upload to IPFS" feature via [Piñata](https://pinata.cloud/) that will upload all of your token assets and metadata. For most collections, you will need to upgrade your Piñata subscription, as there are limits on the free tier. If you're looking for a completely free one-click upload, check out our [NFTStorage guide](https://app.gitbook.com/o/V7YJOo341zI53QMpzWxt/s/o9IBs7DeWK0IjMWTqEXb/generation-and-tokenset-management/upload-to-ipfs-with-nft.storage).

### Before you begin: <a href="#before-you-begin" id="before-you-begin"></a>

Sign up to Piñata -[https://www.pinata.cloud](https://www.pinata.cloud/)​

**Note***:* Depending on the size of your token set, you may need to change your plan. The free plan has a 1 GB storage limit and uploading will fail once you exceed it.

### Creating an Admin Piñata JWT <a href="#creating-an-admin-pinata-jwt" id="creating-an-admin-pinata-jwt"></a>

Sign up/log in to Piñata and navigate to the API Keys page.

Click the **New Key** button and fill in the form:

* Enable the Admin toggle
* Give your key a recognizable name

Copy all of this information to a secure location.

**Note:** Bueno only requires your JWT.

### Upload to IPFS From Bueno

After you generate a token set you'll see the **Upload to IPFS** button.

**Important:** Bueno will use your JWT to create a single-use API Key. The key will appear in your [Piñata API Keys](https://app.pinata.cloud/keys) and can be revoked at any time.

Once your token set has been uploaded you'll be able to copy the **Base URI.** You can use this URI to see all of your metadata on the IPFS network. If you aren't launching your collection with a Bueno smart contract, then your developer will most likely need this URL.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bueno.art/integrations-and-plugins/ipfs/pinata.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
