Platform UI varies by device, region, account type, placement, and product release. Human verification is required before changing this status.

Downloads contain guide rectangles and labels only. They never include your creative.

Example workflow

Try a real creator scenario

Upload a 1080 × 1920 campaign draft, switch among TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, move essential copy away from changing UI areas, and export an overlay for your editor.

Common mistakes

Avoid preventable rework

  • Treating a planning overlay as a publishing guarantee
  • Keeping subtitles against the bottom edge
  • Checking only one placement for a multi-placement ad set

Questions creators ask

Practical notes for a faster, more confident pre-publish check.

Are my images or videos uploaded?

No. Files are read with browser APIs and displayed through a temporary local object URL. Nothing is sent to a server.

Are these safe zones official?

No. They are clearly labeled best-effort planning overlays. Confirm the current platform preview before publishing or buying media.

Can I use the checker for ads?

Yes, as an early layout review. Ad placement UI varies, so check every selected placement in the current ads preview before launch.

Can I download the overlay?

Yes. Export a transparent PNG or SVG with rectangles and labels only; your creative is never included.

What if a platform changes its interface?

Keep the configuration pending until a human compares the geometry with current documentation and preview screenshots, then update the last-reviewed date.
