The dashed red areas are covered by TikTok's interface — captions, buttons and bars. Keep faces, key text and logos out of them so nothing important gets hidden.

Everything stays in your browser — your image is never uploaded. Zones are an approximate guide; apps tweak their layouts over time.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Upload a representative frame of your clip — a thumbnail or a screenshot works.

  2. 2

    Switch between TikTok, Reels and Shorts to see each app's covered areas.

  3. 3

    Reframe or move your captions so faces, text and logos stay out of the red zones.

Frequently asked questions

What is a safe zone for TikTok or Reels?+
The safe zone is the part of a 9:16 video that isn't covered by the app's interface — the caption, username, action buttons and progress bar. Keeping faces, text and logos inside the safe zone means they won't be hidden behind the UI.
How do I check my video's safe zone?+
Upload a representative frame (a thumbnail or a screenshot of your clip), pick the platform, and the tool overlays the areas that get covered. Adjust your framing or caption placement so nothing important sits under the red zones.
Are these safe zones exact?+
They're a close approximation. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube adjust their layouts over time and by device, so treat the zones as a reliable guide rather than pixel-perfect — leave a little margin.
Is my image uploaded?+
No. Everything runs in your browser; the frame you drop in never leaves your device.
