Frequently asked questions
Are the safe zones exact?
They follow the published Reels/TikTok/Shorts UI layouts (top ~12%, bottom ~17%, right rail ~13%). Platforms tweak these occasionally, so treat them as strong guidance.
Can I export 720×1280 instead?
Yes, switch the output preset in the right rail.
Is audio kept?
Yes, audio passes through untouched.
Which platforms do the safe zones cover?
Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts share a similar vertical layout, so the overlays mark the top caption band, bottom UI and right action rail common to all three.
What resolution does it export?
1080×1920 by default, or 720×1280 if you switch the preset — the native sizes these platforms expect.
