Shorts & Reels Safe Zone Checker
Overlay the real in-app UI from YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok to see exactly what's getting covered up
Drop your short-form content into a mock viewer and overlay each platform's native UI — profile icon, like and comment buttons, title layer — to check whether your captions or your subject's face are hiding behind it. A safe-zone simulator for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.

How to use
- Upload an image or a vertical video mockup to test.
- Pick the platform you're checking against (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok).
- Adjust the UI overlay opacity to gauge how readable your text stays, then turn on the caption safe-zone highlight to confirm your text sits in the recommended area (the center of the frame).
FAQ
- Where's the best place to put captions so they don't get covered?
- The sweet spot is center-aligned, just above the channel info at the bottom — roughly 20% to 35% up from the bottom edge — and far enough from the right side that the action buttons don't clip it.
- Can I check a single image instead of a video?
- Yes. Drag and drop any thumbnail or card-style graphic you've laid out for a video and it gets checked exactly the same way as a finished video file.
- Are the safe zones different across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok?
- Yes — each platform positions its profile icon, like/comment buttons, and caption text slightly differently, so the exact safe-zone coordinates vary a bit between them. If you're posting the same clip to all three, be sure to switch the overlay and check each platform separately.
