Why Check Safe Zones?

Vertical video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels overlay UI elements (like buttons, captions, profile bars) on top of your content. If your text or logo sits in these zones, it gets blocked. The safe zone is the visible area where content remains unobstructed.

This tool uses Canvas API to render platform-specific overlays: TikTok/Reels has a top bar (80px), right-side action buttons (60px × 250px), and caption area (120px bottom). YouTube Shorts has similar zones but smaller buttons. Instagram Stories has profile bar (100px top) and reply bar (80px bottom).

Pro tip: Keep text and logos in the center 60% of the frame. Avoid placing critical info within 100px of edges. Test your final video on the actual platform before posting UI sizes vary by device.
