Overview
About this tool
The exact margins to keep clear on TikTok, Reels, Stories, Shorts and YouTube thumbnails, with the usable safe area for each at the canvas size you design on.
Instructions
How to use it
Pick the surface you are exporting for, or leave it on “all” to compare. Margins are given in pixels on the standard 1080×1920 canvas.
The right rail is the trap
TikTok’s avatar, like, comment and sound column claims around 260 pixels on the right. Text centred on the canvas sits underneath it, which is why so much reposted Reels content is unreadable on TikTok.
