Safe zone checker for Reels, TikTok & Shorts

Upload a vertical video or a frame and see what the platform UI - buttons, caption, top bar - will cover. Everything runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

Drop a video or image here

or click to pick a file. 9:16 shows as is; other ratios are fitted into the frame.

Zones are measured off the 2026 apps on a 1080×1920 frame and are a guide, not a spec: platform UIs shift between versions.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload a file

    A clip or a still from your future video. It stays on your device - this page has no server behind it.

  2. 2

    Switch platforms

    TikTok, Reels and Shorts each cover different parts of the frame. Check where your text and face collide with the UI.

  3. 3

    Fix the framing

    Keep titles, captions and faces inside the safe zone: centered, slightly above the middle of the frame.

Framing sorted? Let Monty edit it

Hand the clip to Monty: it cuts the video, adds speech-synced captions, music and a cover, then posts it for you. Monty keeps its captions inside the safe zone on its own.
