How to check your image

  1. Choose a vertical image from your device. For a video, first save the frame you want to inspect as an image.
  2. Look at the central guide and the areas near the top, bottom and side controls.
  3. Check important text and faces visually. Move them in your original design if they sit too close to the outer areas.
  4. Download the guide preview if you want a reference to share with a collaborator.
  5. Use your clean original artwork for publishing, and confirm the result in the destination app.

What the guide can tell you

The guide is an approximate planning aid for vertical content. It helps you notice when important details are close to areas often occupied by interface elements. The same general guide is used here for Reels and TikTok; it is not a separate simulation of every screen, caption length or device.

Check both the artwork and the final post

Use a 9:16 source image when possible so the preview and 1080 × 1920 guide export require less cropping. A different source shape may be cropped to fill the export. The downloaded guide contains annotations, so keep it separate from the clean image you intend to publish.

The checker accepts a still image. It does not scan a video, detect faces or text automatically, or guarantee that an element will remain visible throughout playback.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a video?

The current checker accepts an image. Save a representative frame from your video, or check your cover image. Review other important frames separately in your editing or publishing app.

Is this an official platform safe zone?

No. It is a general visual guide. Interface controls, captions, advertising formats and device layouts can change the area that remains clear.

Does the tool detect whether text is safe?

You inspect the image yourself. The overlay does not recognize text, measure its readability or track moving subjects.

Should I publish the downloaded guide?

The guide download includes the visible checking overlay and is intended for planning or review. Publish your clean artwork after making any changes in the original design.

Why does the export crop my image?

The guide export fills a 1080 × 1920 vertical canvas with a centered crop. Prepare a 9:16 image first if you need to control exactly what remains in frame.
