How It Works
Upload your image
Drop any image onto the canvas. It scales to TikTok's native 9:16 format (1080×1920px) automatically.
Toggle the text-safe zone
Enable the text-safe zone overlay to see the tighter inner area where text and graphics will be clearly readable on all devices.
Preview and download
See where TikTok's status bar, side action buttons, and caption overlay will fall. Download with or without guides.
TikTok Format Specifications
| Format | Dimensions | Aspect Ratio | Safe Zone Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok Video | 1080 × 1920px | 9:16 | Status bar top, side buttons right, caption bottom are overlaid |
| Safe Zone | 960 × 1420px | ~8:13 | Primary content area free of UI overlays |
| Text-Safe Zone | 760 × 1220px | ~2:3 | Conservative inner zone for text and captions |
Popular Use Cases
TikTok Creators
Check video thumbnails and static content before posting. Ensure key visuals won't be hidden behind TikTok's side buttons or caption bar.
Text-Heavy Content
Use the text-safe zone overlay to place captions, quotes, and overlays in the area guaranteed to be readable without interference.
Brand Advertisers
Verify that TikTok ad creatives keep logos and CTAs in the safe zone. Avoid the right-side action buttons and bottom caption area.
Motion Designers
Export a reference frame from your video and check that animated text and graphic elements stay within TikTok's safe content area.
Pro Tips
Avoid the right 120px
TikTok's like, comment, share, and follow buttons occupy the right ~120px of the video frame. Keep all important content to the left.
Leave 400px at the bottom
The caption, username, and audio info overlay the bottom 400px. Place any key visuals, especially CTAs, above this zone.
Enable the text-safe zone
For text-heavy content, toggle the text-safe zone overlay. This shows the tighter 760×1220px area where text will be clearly readable on all devices.
Design for the fold
Viewers scroll quickly, so put your most engaging visual in the top-center of the safe zone to capture attention in the first frame.
Test on a real device
After downloading your guided image, preview it on a physical phone to confirm safe zone accuracy for your specific device's screen dimensions.
Safe zones apply to static and video
Whether you're checking a video thumbnail or a static image for a slideshow, the same TikTok safe zone dimensions apply.
