Download your free safe zone template to edit reels, TikToks and Instagram without text getting cut off. Uploading a well-edited video and having the text appear cut off by the app interface is one of the most frequent (and most avoidable) mistakes when creating content for social networks. The safe zone is the area of the screen where visual elements are not covered by buttons, icons or the navigation bar of platforms such as Instagram or TikTok. Why the safe zone makes a difference in your videos and posts. Respecting that zone is not just a technical issue: it also directly influences how your content is perceived by the audience. A video or image where the text reads well and the visual elements do not compete with the interface conveys more professionalism, generates more trust and retains attention better. In an environment where the decision to continue viewing or scroll is made in less than two seconds, these details matter more than they seem.
