YouTube Shorts Safe Zone Checker — Free Tool
Check a Shorts frame against the areas YouTube fills with the title, channel row, subscribe button and action column.
Shorts keep the title and channel row at the bottom left and the action column on the right. The subscribe button sits inside the bottom band, so text placed there competes with a control people tap.
Approximate. The real overlay shifts with device, app version and caption length, so these bands are drawn slightly generously.

Frequently asked questions
What does YouTube cover on a Short?
The title and channel row sit at the bottom left and the action column runs down the right. The subscribe button falls inside the bottom band, so text placed there sits under something viewers are being asked to tap.
Are these measurements exact?
No — device and app version both move them. The bands are deliberately a little generous, so a frame that passes here passes in the app.
Do I need an account?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and the image is never uploaded anywhere.
