Safe Zone Checker for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook & YouTube
See where platform controls may cover text, logos, captions, or faces before you publish.
Use this when you need to
- Protect essential content from app controls
- Review one design across four platforms
- Export clean and annotated review files
What it does not replace
A representative overlay cannot guarantee every future app layout. Platform interfaces, captions and device settings can change. Always perform a final in-app check for high-stakes content.
Safe Zone Previewer
Upload an image to preview a centered 9:16 crop with platform safe zones.
Choose how strongly risk areas are highlighted in the analysis preview.
Platforms keep the full 9:16 image but may place buttons, captions, and controls over these regions. The default is 60%. This choice affects only the analysis preview and never changes the clean export.

Platform guides
Review each vertical-video interface
Open a dedicated guide for the platform you plan to publish on. Each page starts the same private previewer with the relevant overlay and explains which interface regions deserve extra space.

Vertical-video apps place captions, profile details and action buttons over the image. A headline or logo that looks well positioned in an editor can therefore become difficult to read after it is published. The Safe Zone Checker gives you a practical preview of those occupied areas before the design goes live.
Upload an image and choose TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels or YouTube Shorts. Display Lab places a representative interface overlay above your design. You can adjust its opacity and enable the center grid and safe outline to inspect composition without altering the original file.
Use Single mode for one design or Batch mode to review several variations together. Download a clean 9:16 publishing file or a separate analysis preview; PRO users can package batch clean or analysis images into local ZIP files. Images never leave your browser. Platform interfaces can change, so treat every overlay as a design guide and leave comfortable space around essential content.
