Why use a Safe Zone tool?
Creators often spend hours editing, only to upload their video and realize the Like button is covering their subtitles, or their username is blocking the punchline.
- Ensure captions are readable 100% of the time.
- Look professional by respecting UI boundaries.
- Stop guessing where the "Like" and "Share" buttons go.
The Solution:
Simply drag a screenshot of your video into this tool. We superimpose the exact interface layout (Like buttons, captions, search bars) over your image so you can see exactly what needs to move.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Safe Zone?
A "Safe Zone" is the area of the screen that is not covered by the app's interface (buttons, descriptions, search bars). If you put text outside the safe zone, viewers won't be able to read it.
Does this tool save my images?
No. This tool uses privacy-first technology (HTML5 FileReader). Your image is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded to any server.
Which platforms are supported?
Currently, we support the layouts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Why is the overlay red?
The red semi-transparent areas represent "Danger Zones." These are areas where the app (TikTok/Instagram) places buttons or text. You should avoid putting any important content in the red areas.
