Safe zone checker for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts
Drop in a cover or video frame to see whether text or faces will be hidden by the app's buttons, captions and username.
Red = covered by the app · green frame = safe (approximate)
About Short-video safe zone
Pick a cover image or a frame from your video (1080×1920 recommended) and a platform. The image fills a 9:16 frame and areas where the app usually places buttons, the username, caption and music bar are shaded red; keep key text and faces inside the green frame.
Covered areas are approximations of current app layouts and vary slightly with screen size and caption length, so leave a margin.
FAQ
Why keep a safe zone?
The bottom and right of vertical videos are covered by buttons and captions, so text there is hard to read.
