Frequently Asked Questions


What is the difference between Title Safe and Action Safe?

Action Safe (90% of frame) ensures important visual action is visible across all TVs and displays. Title Safe (80% of frame) ensures text, lower thirds, and titles remain completely visible without edge truncation.

Why are social media safe zones important?

Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts overlay dynamic UI elements (like username, captions, like/share buttons, and audio icons) on top of the video. Safe zone overlays help you position text and logos away from these UI elements.

Can I export a PNG reference frame for my video editor?

Yes! You can instantly export a transparent PNG reference frame with your chosen guides to import into Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No, all processing occurs client-side in your browser for 100% privacy and speed.
