Airdrop NFTs to thousands of Hedera accounts without requiring prior token association on the recipient's side. This is ideal for large-scale NFT distributions, reward programs, and community drops.
Important: If the recipient doesn't have the NFT collection associated, you will pay the token association fee for each unassociated account. This can significantly increase the total cost of the operation. The fee summary will show a min/max range depending on how many recipients already have the token associated.
Rejected airdrops are returned to the collection treasury account, not to the sender. Make sure you understand this before proceeding.
NFT Airdrop — Bulk Sender
How it works
Select a Collection
Choose the NFT collection from which you want to airdrop tokens. Only collections you own NFTs from will be listed.
Define Recipients
Fill in the transfer list with the destination Account IDs and the NFT Serials you want to send to each account.
You can type serials manually (comma-separated), or click the hand icon to visually pick NFTs from your collection.
Quick Actions
Use the toolbar to speed up your workflow:
- Import Accounts — Load accounts from a
.akblfile (generated with Snapshots) - Generate Random Serials — Randomly assign your NFTs among selected recipients
- Add Rows — Add up to 500 rows at a time
Add a Custom Memo (optional)
Attach a memo (max 100 bytes) to the airdrop transactions.
Review & Confirm
Click Continue to review the summary and fees. The fee display will show a price range — the minimum fee applies when recipients already have the token associated, and the maximum fee applies when they don't.
Sign the transaction with your wallet to proceed.
