TikTok safe zone checker
Upload an image or video and see exactly where TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts place their interface: captions, action buttons and navigation. Keep faces, text and subtitles inside the safe area before you post.
Legend
Covered by the app's interface. Avoid text and key visuals here.
Safe area: keep faces, product shots and captions inside this frame.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
How it works
Upload your creative
Drop in a vertical image or video. It is rendered on a 9:16 stage exactly as phones display it.
Pick a platform
Switch between TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts to see each app's interface overlay.
Fix what gets covered
If text or faces sit in a red zone, reframe or move them into the outlined safe area before posting.
What you get
- Up-to-date overlay zones for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- Works with images and videos. Videos play in a loop under the overlay.
- Labeled zones show exactly what covers your content, from captions to action buttons.
- Fully client-side, so unreleased creatives never leave your device.
