TikTok Safe Zone Checker — Free Tool
Drop in a frame and see exactly what TikTok’s own interface covers — the action rail, the caption block, the top row.
The action rail (profile, like, comment, share, sound) runs down the right, and the caption plus username block sits along the bottom. The bottom is the one that grows — a long caption pushes further up the frame than you expect.
Approximate. The real overlay shifts with device, app version and caption length, so these bands are drawn slightly generously.
Features
- Overlays the areas TikTok, Reels and Shorts cover with UI
- Cover-fits a non-9:16 frame the way the app would
- Download the overlay to check against in your editor
- Runs in your browser — the frame is never uploaded
Frequently asked questions
What is a TikTok safe zone?
The part of a vertical frame that TikTok’s own interface does not sit on top of. The action rail (profile, like, comment, share, sound) runs down the right, and the caption plus username block sits along the bottom — anything you put there competes with a control people tap.
Are these measurements exact?
No, and no tool’s are. The real overlay moves with device, app version, and how long your caption is. These bands are drawn slightly generously on purpose: a frame that clears them will clear the real thing, and cropping a little tighter costs nothing compared with finding out the price was under a sticker.
Do I need an account?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and the image is never uploaded anywhere.
