Free Creative Tools for Video Teams & Creators

Introducing Kreatli’s Free Creative Tool Collection

Creative production doesn’t usually fail because of bad ideas. It fails because of avoidable technical friction.

Misplaced captions. Cropped banners. Uploads that take hours longer than expected. These problems show up late - often during review - when they’re most expensive to fix.

That’s why we launched a growing collection of free creative tools: lightweight utilities designed to help teams validate assets before they enter review and approval workflows.

No sign-up. No paywalls. Just tools built for real production scenarios.

1. Instagram Reels Safe Zone Checker

Instagram overlays UI elements (captions, buttons, profile info) directly on top of your video. Anything placed too close to the edges risks being hidden.

This tool overlays platform-accurate Instagram UI safe zones, allowing you to preview exactly where text, logos, and key visuals will remain visible.

Best for:

• Social media managers

• Short-form video editors

• Agencies delivering Reels to clients

2. TikTok Safe Zone Checker

TikTok’s UI is even more aggressive than Instagram’s, with persistent overlays on the right and bottom of the screen.

The TikTok Safe Zone Checker ensures your captions, CTAs, and branding are not blocked by likes, comments, or profile elements.

Best for:

• TikTok-first creators

• Performance marketing teams

• UGC and influencer campaigns

3. YouTube Shorts Safe Zone Checker

YouTube Shorts combine elements of traditional YouTube and vertical social UI. Without safe zones, key information can easily disappear behind overlays.

This tool applies YouTube Shorts-specific UI boundaries, helping teams design Shorts that remain legible across devices.

Best for:

• YouTube-first teams expanding into Shorts

• Brands repurposing Reels or TikToks

• Editors managing cross-platform delivery

4. YouTube Banner Resizer

YouTube channel banners display differently on mobile, desktop, and TV. Designing without safe zones often leads to cropped logos or unreadable text.

The YouTube Banner Resizer applies correct dimensions and safe zones so your banner works everywhere from the start.

Best for:

• Brand and marketing teams

• YouTube creators and channels

• Agencies managing channel branding

5. Data Transfer Calculator

Large files are unavoidable in video production. What’s avoidable is guessing how long transfers will take.

This calculator estimates upload or download time based on file size and connection speed - so teams can plan deliveries realistically.

Best for:

• Video production teams

• Remote collaboration workflows

• Client handoffs and deadlines

Why We Built These Free Tools

Creative teams today work across:

• Multiple platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, web)

• Multiple formats (short-form, long-form, banners, thumbnails)

• Multiple stakeholders (internal teams, clients, external partners)

Yet most production issues still come down to:

• Platform UI overlays hiding content

• Incorrect asset dimensions

• Poor planning around file transfer and delivery

These are not creative problems. They are workflow problems.

Our free tools are designed to:

• Eliminate guesswork early

• Reduce avoidable review feedback

• Improve handoffs between creation and review

• Make production workflows more predictable

Who These Tools Are For

• Advertising & marketing agencies producing high-volume social and video content

• Animation studios and video production companies managing multiple versions and formats

• In-house creative and content teams supporting marketing, brand, and growth

• Anyone working with video at scale who wants fewer last-minute fixes

How These Tools Fit Into a Modern Workflow

These tools are designed for the pre-review phase of production:

1. Create or export an asset

2. Validate layout, size, or delivery constraints using a free tool

3. Share the asset for review

4. Collect focused, meaningful feedback

Once assets are technically sound, teams can move into structured review using a Video Collaboration & Review Platform like Kreatli - where feedback, versions, and approvals live in one place.
