What is tiktok & reels safe zone checker?
A safe zone checker overlays each platform's interface on top of your vertical frame so you can see which parts of the image will be hidden by captions, buttons, the username and the product card. APImage's checker runs in the browser and covers TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories, and YouTube Shorts. Drop in a still or the first frame of a clip and the unusable areas are drawn straight on top of it.
