# Safe zone checker

Drop your Reel, TikTok, Story or Short and see the platform’s buttons and captions over it.

## How it works

Drop your Reel, TikTok, Story or Short and see which parts get covered by the platform’s buttons, captions and profile name.

The safe zones are measured on a 1080 × 1920 frame from each platform’s ad guidance. Keep your text, logo and faces inside the dashed box and nothing important gets hidden.
