Make Your Poem Visual
Stanza lets you customize the presentation of your work. These settings are entirely optional but can add atmosphere.
Background Color
Set a background color using a hex color picker (e.g., #1a1a2e for dark blue, #f5e6cc for warm cream). This fills the background behind your poem text.
Background Image
Upload an image to display behind your poem. Requirements: 16:9 aspect ratio, maximum 5MB. The image creates a full-bleed visual backdrop.
Background Music
Upload ambient audio that plays softly while readers experience your work. Maximum 100MB, m4a format preferred. Great for setting a mood or atmosphere.
Less is More
Your poem stands on its own without any of these. Presentation settings add atmosphere but should complement your writing, not distract from it.
