Vertical video safe-zone overlay preview

Choose a generic inset example, adjust its margins and optionally open a local video or still. Preview the excluded edges and download a transparent overlay for your editor.

Build an editable planning overlay. Preset margins are examples, not official safe-zone boundaries.

How it works

TikTok’s June 2026 specification says safe zones depend on dimensions, caption length and extra formats; preview and live placement can differ by device. It provides separate standard, anchor and RTL templates. The margins here are editable design assumptions, not copies of those official templates. Use the current platform preview before publishing. Organic controls can differ from ads.

x = frame width × left % / 100 y = frame height × top % / 100 planning width = frame width × (1 − (left % + right %) / 100) planning height = frame height × (1 − (top % + bottom %) / 100)

The generic inset examples are not assigned to any platform. For official TikTok ad geometry, open the Safe Zone template downloads: use Standard LTR outside Arabic regions or Arabic RTL, and choose the anchor variant when using anchors. Select dimensions and caption length in those files. All allow manual margins; editing a field marks the preset as customized. Frame size follows loaded media. Changing it afterward fits the media inside that frame, which can add empty bars. Red shading marks excluded edges and the outlined center is the planning rectangle. The PNG contains only the overlay; its center is transparent.

No intermediate rounding is applied. Dimensions and area percentages are displayed to two decimals; canvas edges are rasterized at the selected whole-pixel frame size.

Worked examples

An asymmetric custom inset example

For a 1,080 × 1,920 frame with top 10%, bottom 30%, left 8% and right 18% excluded, the center begins at (86.4, 192) and measures 799.2 × 1,152 pixels. It occupies 44.4% of the frame. These margins are assumptions.

Your own symmetric margins

On a 1,000 × 2,000 frame with 10% excluded on every edge, the center begins at (100, 200), measures 800 × 1,600 pixels and occupies 64% of the frame.

Frequently asked questions

Are these official platform templates?
No. All preset margins are editable planning examples. Exact pixel boundaries could not be verified from the retrieved official guidance, so they are not presented as platform rules.
Which official TikTok template should I use?
Use Standard LTR outside Arabic regions and Arabic RTL for Arabic regions. Choose the with-anchor download when using anchors. Follow the linked official Safe Zone guidance for dimensions and caption length; these ad templates do not certify organic posts.
Can I preview moving video?
Yes. Open one local MP4, WebM or MOV up to 30 MB and use the native play and seek controls under the overlay. Codec support depends on the browser. JPEG, PNG and WebP stills are also accepted.
Does the download include my video or still?
No. It is a transparent PNG with shaded edge regions and a rectangle outline. Put it above your footage in an editor as a guide and hide it before the final export.
Does the center guarantee visible text?
No. Expanded captions, devices, language direction, buttons and product changes can cover different areas. Check each actual placement and account configuration. The tool allows frames up to 8,192 pixels per side and 40 million pixels total.
