TikTok Safe Zone FAQ
What is the TikTok Safe Zone?
The TikTok safe zone is the area of a 9:16 vertical video (1080x1920 pixels) that is not covered by TikTok's user interface elements like the profile icon, like button, caption text, or top header. Keeping your main content and text within this safe zone ensures nothing important is hidden from viewers.
What are the dimensions for a TikTok safe zone overlay?
A standard TikTok video is 1080x1920 pixels. The safe zone overlay should match this exact dimension (a 1080x1920 PNG). The actual safe area sits in the center, avoiding roughly the top 150px, the right 160px (middle to bottom), and the bottom 450px.
How do I use a TikTok safe zone template in CapCut or Premiere Pro?
Download the transparent PNG overlay from our tool. Import it into your editing software (like CapCut, Premiere Pro, or Figma) and place it on the top layer above your video. Edit your video ensuring all text and important action happens within the clear center area. Before exporting your final video, simply hide or delete the overlay layer.
Is the safe zone different in 2026?
TikTok frequently updates its UI, such as shifting the 'For You' page tabs or expanding the caption length limits. Our generator provides the most up-to-date 2026 TikTok UI danger zones so your text is never obscured.
