Name of project or idea
Tezto: Easily find, edit, caption, and share digital art on Tezos to social media platforms with context and a story to tell.
Detailed description of your project or idea and why you believe it deserves funding
Many artists and collectors would understandably rather focus on art, but social media marketing is still part of being an artist or collector.
Artists need visibility so people can discover and collect their work. Collectors often want to support the artists they believe in and share pieces they love with others.
It is simple: people need to see your art to collect it and build a connection with the artist.
However, sharing art can sometimes feel like a chore. Finding the artwork, editing it for the right format, and writing a good caption takes time. Questions come up like:
- Did I share this recently?
- Is this the correct X (Twitter) account of the artist?
- What should I write alongside the artwork?
Tezto fixes this by making sharing digital art as easy and enjoyable as possible.
The Problem Tezto Solves
- Save time on social media marketing. Spend more time creating or collecting art.
- Share on multiple social media platforms in the correct image format.
- Encourage more sharing by making artworks easy to find and edit.
- Adapt one post for multiple platforms without recreating it each time.
- Turn artworks into ready-to-share social media posts in seconds.
- Automatically include artist credits, artwork details, and links.
How Tezto works
1. Add your wallet
Add your wallet address to get started. Simply copy and paste it. No sync required.
2. Choose an artwork
Choose an artwork from your collection or your creations. The best ones often have a story behind them.
Examples:
“I collected this piece exactly one year ago today.”
“This is the piece that started my journey collecting on Tezos.”
3. Select platforms
Pick the platforms you want to post to.
4. Adjust the artwork
Adjust the artwork for different formats such as:
- Feed
- Story
- Header
- Profile picture
Editing tools include:
- Crop
- Draw
- Stickers (such as Tezos platform logos and emojis)
- Add text in different styles
5. Add a caption
Use smart auto-complete to automatically add sentences like:
“This is the 10th artwork I’ve collected from @[artist name].”
Or write your own caption.
Tezto can automatically add:
- Artist name
- Artwork description
- Objkt or Teia links
- Artist usernames and links
- Hashtags
6. Share
Reuse edits and captions to share across other social media platforms.
Use auto positioning to adapt a feed post to a story post, for example.
