Designs & the studio
How do I add or change the background music?
By Nimanto 1 min read
In short
Choose Background music on the Review & create step, or later under Update invitation details or in the studio's Music panel. Pick a library track, upload your own MP3 or M4A, or paste a YouTube link. Music starts once the envelope opens, and guests can mute it.
Every design comes with its own music. You can keep it, pick another track, or use your own.
The library
Nimanto's library holds original instrumentals for every occasion, and for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year also songs with their own lyrics, each cut as a seamless loop. Tracks are tagged by occasion and mood (romantic, playful, festive, calm, grand or warm), and the tracks for your occasion are listed first. Every published track is free to use.
Pick a track when you create the invitation
- 1On the Review & create step, find the Background music row.
- 2Choose Choose music (or Change) to open the library.
- 3Tap the play button to listen; this also picks the track. Or choose Use on a track, which then reads Chosen.
- 4Choose Done.
The chosen track replaces the design's own and plays in the preview.
Change it later
- Open the invitation from your dashboard, choose Update invitation details, and pick a track on the review step.
- Or open the Invitation studio and its Music panel, which also offers Upload MP3 and YouTube, and the switch "Start automatically after the envelope opens".
Uploads can be MP3 or M4A, up to 12 MB. Some YouTube videos do not allow embedding, so test the link in Preview. Use music you have the rights to play.
What guests hear
Music starts once the envelope has opened, never before, and guests can mute it with one tap. See Music and effects as a guest.
