Platform UI Safe Zones

Check Your Video Ad Against TikTok, Reels & Shorts Safe Zones Before You Publish

Captions, prices and logos hidden behind like buttons and captions lose you the message. AdFlame finds every line of on-screen text in your ad and checks it against the real button and caption positions on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, YouTube in-stream, X and LinkedIn.

The Auction Cost of Inaction

Why Untested Creatives Suffer Auction Penalties

TikTok Caption & CTA Band
Bottom ~420px

On a 1080×1920 ad, the username, caption, sound and CTA button cover roughly the bottom 22% of the frame.

Right-Hand Button Rail
Right ~130–140px

Like, comment, save and share buttons cover the right edge from about a third (TikTok) to halfway (Reels) down the screen.

Top Header Bar
Top ~170–190px

Tabs, search and camera icons sit across the top 9–10% of the frame on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Pre-Flight Process

How AdFlame Validates Your Video Ads in 3 Steps

01

Upload Your Ad

Any MP4 or MOV up to 60 seconds. AdFlame reads the shape (9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5) and checks the platforms that format runs on.

02

Text Found Frame by Frame

Every line of visible on-screen text is boxed by position and time. Voiceover-only lines are ignored, so spoken words never trigger a warning.

03

See Every Collision

Each platform lists the captions, prices or logos that sit under permanent buttons (hazards) or controls that appear only sometimes (cautions), with the exact second.

Core Capabilities

Engineered for Performance Media Teams & Creative Strategists

Six Platforms in One Check

TikTok, Instagram and Meta Reels, YouTube Shorts, YouTube in-stream, X and LinkedIn, matched to your ad's aspect ratio.

Watermarks, Logos & Banners

Persistent overlays such as corner logos, watermarks and promo banners are measured too, not just captions.

Part of Every Test

The safe-zone result sits beside hook strength, retention and readability in the same report and PDF, so one upload covers the whole pre-flight check.

Enterprise Confidentiality & Zero Data RetentionYour pre-release video cuts, concepts, and campaign scripts are processed within isolated sandbox environments. AdFlame never publishes, exposes, or uses your proprietary assets to train external public models.
High-Intent Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

On a 1080×1920 TikTok ad, keep key text out of the top ~190px (tabs and search), the bottom ~420px (username, caption, sound and CTA button) and the right ~140px from about a third of the way down (like, comment, save and share). TikTok's own ad template uses wider margins, so staying inside it is safer still.
