A safe zone template is a transparent frame the size of your video with one platform's safe zone drawn on it. Laid over your edit on the top track, it shows where the app's account name, caption and buttons will sit, so text, a logo or the product can be kept out from under them while you cut.
Each file draws the zone and nothing else, with no mock buttons or captions over your picture. Shaded tints the bands along the edges red, along with any block the platform cuts out of a corner, and draws a line around the clear area. Outline draws the line alone, for judging a shot without tinting it. The clear area is transparent in both.
Download the PNG at your timeline's or canvas's size. Every 9:16 template comes at 1080 × 1920 for full HD and at 2160 × 3840 for 4K, so a vertical edit at either size gets a file that matches it pixel for pixel. Each also comes at its placements' own frame: 1440 × 2560 for Facebook and Instagram and 720 × 1280 for TikTok. The other YouTube templates come at the size of Google's own files: 1920 × 1080 for horizontal video and 1080 × 1080 for square video.
A safe zone is a share of the frame, so a template scaled to fill a frame of its own shape still lands where it should. The SVG is the file to scale: it stays sharp at any size. Never stretch a template over a frame of another shape, or every band moves with it.
The steps are the same in every editor: the template goes on the top track or layer, stretched to the edges of the frame for the whole edit, and comes off before you export.
Drop the finished file into the safe zone checker. It draws the same zone over your own frame at its own size and gives every band in your file's pixels, so a line of text that crept into a band shows up before the ad goes out.
Facebook Stories, Facebook Reels, Instagram Feed (video), Instagram Stories and Instagram Reels share one zone: 14% of the top, 35% of the bottom and 6% of each side, and the bottom 40% of the right-hand 21%. One template covers all of them, at each of their frames. The figures are from Meta's help article on text overlays and the safe zone for ads on Facebook and Instagram, as of 2026-10-22, whose diagram adds the corner block.
TikTok's in-feed safe zone changes with the ad. TikTok says it is determined by the dimension (vertical, horizontal, or square), ad caption length, and any additional formats used, and offers four template downloads: standard and with-anchor, each left-to-right and Arabic. The TikTok file follows the standard template, for a vertical ad with no anchor; for an ad with an anchor, or in Arabic, use TikTok's own download from its in-feed ads page.
TikTok labels its template in pixels on a 720 × 1280 frame: 160 at the top, 440 at the bottom and 80 on each side. On a 1080 × 1920 frame the same bands are 240, 660 and 120 px, which is what the 1080 × 1920 file draws.
The YouTube files follow the transparent overlays Google links from its video ad specs page: the horizontal one for In-stream and Bumper, the vertical one for Shorts and the square one for Square video. Google gives no Shorts-only zone, so Shorts takes the vertical one. Google says overlays, calls to action and buttons "may appear in different places depending on the format, campaign type, and screen" — a reference, not a guarantee.
Each template names the page or file its zone comes from and the date it was read. Platforms change their overlays without notice, so if the source shows something other than the template, go by the source.
Yes, with no sign-up and no email. Each file is drawn in your browser when you press its button, from the same zones as our ad specs pages, so there is nothing to unlock and nothing is sent to a server.
The size of your timeline or canvas. Every 9:16 template comes at 1080 × 1920 and 2160 × 3840, and at its placements' own frames; the YouTube horizontal and square ones come at the size of Google's own files. For any other size of the same shape, use the SVG: it scales without blurring.
No. TikTok's standard zone keeps 11.1% of each side clear against Meta's 6%, and its bottom-right block reaches 56.25% up the frame against Meta's 40%, so text that fits Instagram's line can fall inside TikTok's. Use each platform's own template. On Meta, Facebook Stories, Facebook Reels, Instagram Feed (video), Instagram Stories and Instagram Reels share one zone, so one template covers all of them.
Keep it on its own track or layer at the top, then hide or delete it before you export: switch the track off in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, hide the layer in Figma, and delete it in CapCut or Canva. An export includes every visible layer, the overlay too.
A pixel figure is only true at the size it was measured on, so a template drawn from figures taken on a canvas of another size puts its lines in the wrong place. TikTok's standard template keeps 160 px clear at the top of its 720 × 1280 frame; at 1080 × 1920 the same band is 240 px. These templates store each zone as a share of the frame, from the platform's own page or file, with the date it was read.
Platforms revise specs without notice; check the source before you build a template on it.
