Why use a TikTok Safe Zone Checker?

TikTok's user interface covers about 20% of your screen. The "Like", "Comment", and "Share" buttons on the right, along with the caption and music description at the bottom, can hide your subtitles.

How to check your TikTok Safe Zones

  1. 1

    Upload your video: Select your vertical (9:16) video file from your device.

  2. 2

    Select Platform: Toggle between TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts guides.

  3. 3

    Check Alignment: Ensure your text and captions are inside the clear areas.

When text is hidden, engagement drops because viewers can't read your hook. Use this free tool to preview your video layout before you post.

TikTok Safe Zone Dimensions

  • Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920)
  • Bottom Margin: Avoid the bottom 150px for captions.
  • Right Margin: Leave 120px on the right for engagement buttons.
  • Top Margin: Leave 100px at the top for the "Following/For You" tabs.

Best Practices for Viral Captions

To maximize views, place your captions in the center-middle or center-bottomof the safe zone. Use high-contrast colors (like yellow or white with a black outline) to ensure readability against any background. SubCaption's AI automates this process by detecting the safe zones for you.
