Reels UI can vary across placements and device sizes.
The shaded bands are intentionally conservative. Use them to keep text, faces, and CTA blocks out of likely UI occlusion zones.
Reference guidance: source.
Keep small text inside the bright frame.
Check at multiple timestamps if motion pushes subjects toward the lower UI band.
Use the thirds grid when aligning faces or product shots.
FAQ
Common questions
What formats can I check?
Use a local image or video file. The preview stays in-browser and does not require an account.
Do the overlays mirror Meta's live UI exactly?
No. They are practical safe-zone guides designed to catch common placement issues before export.
Can I compare against other platforms?
Yes. The related tools on this page let you compare the same creative against TikTok and Shorts rules.
