Social Media Safe Area Generator
Safe-area overlays for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, with downloadable PNGs.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Pick a platform, Reels, TikTok or Shorts.
- See the safe area drawn over a 1080 by 1920 frame.
- Download a transparent PNG guide to drop on a layer in your editor.
Examples
- Keep titles inside the safe box so the caption and profile UI do not cover them.
- Check that key action sits clear of the bottom buttons before you export.
- Use the same guide across a series so framing stays consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need safe areas?
Each platform overlays captions, handles and buttons on top of your video. The safe area keeps your important content clear of that interface.
Is the PNG transparent?
Yes, the export is a transparent 1080 by 1920 overlay, so you drop it on a top layer and remove it before final export.
Do the margins ever change?
Platforms tweak their layouts over time, so treat the guides as a close, practical reference and leave a little extra breathing room.
