What is the TikTok Safe Zone?
The TikTok Safe Zone is the area of your video that remains free from app interface elements like the like, comment, and share buttons. This area ensures that your key information and visuals aren’t blocked or hidden.
The image below is the TikTok safe zone. Green = ideal place that you want to leave anything important such as a caption or notable parts of your video.
Why It’s Important
- Visibility: Keeps important info (text, calls to action, product images) visible to your audience.
- User Experience: Prevents frustration by ensuring a clean, uncluttered view of your content.
- Algorithm Boost: Increases engagement and watch time, improving your chances of landing on the For You Page (FYP).
- Better Conversions: Ensures calls to action are seen, leading to higher interaction rates.
How to Use the Safe Zone
- Avoid placing text or important elements in the bottom 20% (where buttons appear) and top 10% (where captains go).
- Keep key visuals in the middle 60-80% of the screen.
Quick Tips
- Use TikTok’s Text Tool: It automatically places text in the safe zone.
- Edit with Space in Mind: Leave room at the bottom and sides for interface buttons.
- Preview Before Posting: Check your video in preview mode to make sure nothing is hidden.
Take Action
By keeping your content within the TikTok Safe Zone, you’ll create more engaging, user-friendly videos and improve your chances of reaching a larger audience.
