How It Works
Generate professional content in three simple steps.
Tell us your video format
Mention whether you're designing a full-screen TikTok video, a Duet/Stitch layout, or a green-screen background.
Get the safe-zone map
Receive the recommended margins to keep clear on each edge, so your captions, stickers, and logo stay visible above TikTok's on-screen UI.
Place your text and export
Position on-screen text and stickers inside the safe area in your editor before exporting the final video.

Keep Captions Readable
Make sure on-screen text isn't hidden behind the caption, sound title, or profile icon overlay.
Protect Your CTA
Place your call-to-action where viewers will actually see it, not behind the like/comment/share icon stack.
Design for Duet & Stitch
Plan your layout so it still reads correctly when TikTok splits the screen for a Duet or Stitch.
Nail Green-Screen Overlays
Keep key visuals centered so they aren't cropped when used as a green-screen background by other creators.
Consistent Branding
Keep your logo or watermark in the same safe corner across every video for a recognizable channel look.
Repurpose to Reels & Shorts
The same safe-zone logic applies to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, so one edit works for all three.
Pro Tips for Better Results
Unlock the full potential of this tool with these expert strategies and best practices.
# Preview on an actual phone
TikTok's editor doesn't always show the live app overlay — export a draft and check it on your device before publishing.
# Leave extra margin for older devices
Smaller or notched screens crop slightly differently; leaving a bit more margin than the minimum keeps text safe everywhere.
# Avoid the bottom third for key info
The caption, sound title, and username sit near the bottom — put your most important message higher on screen.
# Right edge is for icons only
Leave the right-hand strip clear — that's where the like, comment, share, and profile icons sit.
# Test with captions on and off
Auto-captions can cover extra space when enabled — check your layout both ways.
# Re-check after app updates
TikTok occasionally repositions UI elements; if your videos suddenly look off, re-verify the safe zone.
