Frequently asked questions

What is a TikTok safe zone checker?

It overlays reference areas for interface controls and captions on your creative. This helps you position important content before reviewing the final draft inside TikTok.

Where should I put headlines and product details?

Keep the most important text, faces and products inside the dashed area. Give the right-side buttons and lower caption area extra space.

Can I preview a video as well as an image?

Yes. Choose Image or Video, add your file and use the preview. Video playback lets you check moving subjects as they cross different areas.

How do I account for a longer caption?

Increase Extra caption space. The shaded lower area grows, helping you test the placement of text against more caption space.

How precise are the overlay guides?

The guides are layout references. TikTok controls vary by screen, placement and interface updates, so check the final draft in your intended TikTok placement too.

Can I share the preview with a designer?
