# IPFS Syncing

Once your NFT collection is deployed, your images will be synced with IPFS. This may take some time, and in some cases 24 hours for large collections. 

Please note you are able to mint NFTs right away, but until the IPFS sync is complete the images may not be visible right away in some apps.
