How to use it
Check placement early, then preview the real ad setup.
Add a 9:16 screenshot or exported frame, then drag the sample text where you plan to place your key message. A clear result means only that the box avoids this preset's conservative buffers.
TikTok's current In-Feed documentation says key text and logos can be covered or cropped outside the safe zone. It also says the safe area varies with orientation, caption length, and interactive add-ons.
Treat this as an early composition check. Before publishing, preview the finished creative in the exact TikTok placement, caption, language direction, and add-on setup you will use.
Questions
What to know before you use it.
Is this TikTok's official safe-zone template?
No. It is a clearly versioned, conservative planning overlay based on the interface areas TikTok tells advertisers to protect. TikTok says the exact safe area changes with dimensions, caption length, and interactive add-ons, so use TikTok's own preview before launch.
Does the image leave my browser?
No. The page creates a temporary browser object URL for the local preview. It does not upload, store, analyze, or send the image to ClipStitchr.
Can I download an edited frame?
No. The draggable box is only a placement test. The tool does not burn in text, edit your frame, create a certified template, or export a new image.
