FAQ

Is the Safe Zone Checker free?

Yes — 100% free, no login, no watermark. The overlay is drawn in your browser.

What are safe zones?

Safe zones are the parts of your image that won't be covered by platform UI. Each platform places buttons, captions, and bars in different spots — this tool shows you exactly where.

Can I check multiple platforms at once?

Yes, toggle as many as you want. The overlays stack so you can see the combined no-go areas.

What aspect ratio should I use?

For Reels, Stories, TikTok, and Shorts, use a 9:16 vertical image (1080×1920). The tool works with any size but the overlays are calibrated for vertical video covers.
