Questions

What is a safe zone on TikTok or Reels?
The safe zone is the part of a vertical video that the app's interface doesn't cover. The username, caption, music, and the action buttons (like, comment, share) sit on top of your footage — so any text or important visuals placed there get hidden. Keeping key elements inside the safe zone makes sure viewers can actually read and see them.
What is the correct aspect ratio for short-form video?
9:16 — a vertical frame, typically 1080 × 1920 pixels. TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts all use it full-screen. If your image or video isn't 9:16, the app crops or letterboxes it; this tool shows you exactly what gets cut.
Where do the TikTok, Reels, and Shorts buttons sit?
All three stack their action buttons down the right side and put captions, username, and audio along the bottom, with a thin bar at the top. The exact heights differ slightly per app, so this tool switches the overlay when you change platform. As a rule, keep text out of the bottom third and the right edge.
Is my uploaded image stored anywhere?
No. The image is loaded only in your browser to draw the overlay — it's never uploaded to a server and nothing is saved. Close the tab and it's gone.
Is this tool free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, no email. If you want the content inside that safe zone to actually perform, the paid product remixes proven viral scripts into your brand voice.
