How can I add music to my set? Can I upload my own music?

You can add music to your set by clicking the 'Music' link in the editor. You can search by Artist or Song. Unfortunately, you cannot upload your own music.

How can I add text to my set? How can I change the text color?

Add text to your set by clicking on the 'Text' link in the editor. First, choose the font you like and then edit the pre-populated text box with your chosen text. If you want to change the text color, click the arrow next to the black square and choose a color.

How do I create a collection?

Collections are a great way to group your favorite sets. Check out our blog post to learn how to create a collection.

Why is my set hidden?

Sometimes we get requests to take images down. If that image happens to be in your set, your set will become hidden. You can republish the set by either removing the invalid item or replacing it.

Why do my sets shrink when I publish them?

The basic format for a Polyvore set is the shape of a square. If you create your collage in other shapes, such as a rectangle, the images in your set will shrink to fit the shape of a square. Also, sometimes when items are rotated, the white space around them alters and may go outside the boundaries of a square shape, which will also cause your sets to shrink.

Where can I go to get inspiration for my next set?

Click on the 'Ideas' tab in the editor. You'll see contests that are currently open as well as Style Advice questions that you can help answer.

How do I post my set to Facebook?

After you've created your set and you're ready to publish your set, you'll have the option to post your set to Facebook. Just click the box and hit the 'Publish' button.
