Reels / TikTok / Shorts Safe Zone Previewer

Upload a vertical video or a thumbnail and see exactly where TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts put their buttons, captions and bars — before you post. If your title, face or product sits under a red or amber zone, it will be covered in the app. Runs entirely in your browser: your video never leaves this device.

The overlays are guides based on the platforms' current app layouts (late 2026). TikTok, Instagram and YouTube move their buttons from time to time and layouts vary slightly by phone — always do a final check in the app's own preview before posting.
