Safe Zone Overlay for Reels, TikTok & Shorts

Show TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts safe zones over any video or design in your browser. Free, private, no sign-up.

Is your caption hiding behind the like button? See it before you post. Safe Zone Overlay draws the Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Story safe zones right on top of the video or design you're working on, in any tab. Keep text, logos and faces out of the areas the app UI covers. HOW IT WORKS • Click the toolbar icon or press Alt+Shift+S. • The overlay snaps to the largest video, image or canvas on the page and follows it when you scroll or resize. • Not a 9:16 element (a canvas editor, a horizontal preview)? You get a warning and a 9:16 frame you can drag and resize over your design. FEATURES • 4 platforms: Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Story • 2 styles: red danger bands, or a simple UI mock-up (caption lines, side buttons) drawn with generic shapes • Opacity slider; remembers your last platform and style • Works in web editors and previews: Canva, CapCut web, Figma, Google Drive previews, YouTube Studio and other pages that show your video or image • 7 languages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português (Brasil) PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No data collection, no analytics, no account, no network requests • Runs only on the tab where you turn it on (activeTab permission, no "read all websites" access) Zone values are approximate, rounded and based on the platforms' published ad specs plus our own screenshot measurements (last checked 30 Oct 2026).
