Instagram Reels Safe-Zone Overlay Checker

Test your 9:16 Reels and Stories before posting. Ensure vital text, captions, and faces aren't covered by Instagram's buttons, usernames, or 4:5 feed crops.

Safe Zone Golden Rules:
  • Keep text at least 220px from the top and bottom.
  • Keep titles centered within the 4:5 box so feed preview looks crisp.
  • Never put key buttons or text along the right 120px where Like, Share, and Comment buttons live.
