How to Use the Safe-Zone Checker for TikTok
Use the safe zone checker inside Kreatli so you can preview platform overlays, get feedback, and get approvals in one place. Follow these steps to ensure your TikTok video looks perfect on TikTok.
Step 1
Upload Your Video in Kreatli
Sign in to Kreatli, open your project, and upload your TikTok video or asset. The safe zone checker is built into the platform—check safe zones right where you review and get approvals.
Step 2
Open It and Turn On the Safe Zone Overlay
Open the video in the player, then activate the safe zone overlay to see where TikTok's UI will sit: profile picture, username, music track, like, comment, share, and follow button. Identify where important visuals might be covered so you can adjust before posting.
Step 3
Preview TikTok (or Toggle Platforms)
View the TikTok overlay: profile and username at top, music and engagement buttons on the right. Switch to Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts in the same view to compare and ensure your content stays visible on every platform.
Step 4
Turn the Platform Overlay On or Off as Needed
Turn the platform overlay on to see where TikTok's UI elements will sit on your content, or off to view your video without the guide. Toggle on and off at key frames to verify that text and visuals stay in the safe zone before you move to review and share.
Step 5
Review, Get Feedback, Share for Approval, or Download
Review key frames, get team feedback, share for approval, or download a reference with the safe zone overlay. Everything stays in your Kreatli project before you publish to TikTok.
TikTok Safe Zone - Built for Video Teams
See where TikTok’s UI overlays sit on your video so you can keep headlines, CTAs, and branding in the safe zone. Upload, preview, and export.
Preview Safe Zone Overlays
Turn on the safe zone overlay to see where profile picture, username, like button, comment button, share button, and caption area appear on your TikTok. Keep important text and visuals outside those areas so they stay visible.
Upload & Check Before You Post
Drag and drop your TikTok video into the free tool. No watermark. Preview the safe zone, adjust your design if needed, and export a reference so your team keeps content in the right place.
TikTok-Specific Overlays
Our checker uses TikTok UI positions so you see where overlays sit in the app. Keep subtitles, captions, and CTAs in the safe area so viewers never miss your message.
Export & Share With Your Team
Download your preview with the safe zone overlay as a reference. Share with editors and clients so everyone keeps key elements in the safe zone before TikToks go live.
Use With Kreatli Review Workflow
After you check the safe zone, upload your TikToks to Kreatli for frame-accurate review and client approval. Get feedback on placement, captions, and branding before you publish.
Instagram Reels & YouTube Shorts Too
We also offer safe zone checkers for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Use each tool before posting so your content stays visible on every platform. All free, all in your browser.
Why Check the TikTok Safe Zone?
Keeping your message in the safe zone means more viewers see your headline, CTA, and brand—and fewer surprises after you post.
Keep Key Content Visible
TikTok’s right-side UI can cover a large part of your frame. When you check the safe zone first, you avoid placing headlines, CTAs, or logos where the engagement stack or profile picture will sit. Viewers see what you want them to see.
Fewer Redos After Publishing
Catch safe zone issues before you post. Adjust text placement or graphics in the editor, run the checker again, and publish with confidence. No more discovering covered text once the TikTok is live.
Professional Look on Every TikTok
Brands and creators who check the safe zone deliver cleaner, more readable TikToks. Use the free tool as part of your pre-publish checklist so every post looks intentional and on-brand.
Fit Into Your Creative Workflow
Check the safe zone in seconds, then move to Kreatli for review and approval if you work with clients or teams. Keep safe zone validation and frame-accurate feedback in one workflow.
