YouTube Shorts Safe Zone Checker
Preview your image or short video with the YouTube Shorts guide selected. The shaded areas suggest where interface elements may overlap; they are adjustable starting points, not verified official safe-area measurements.
Preparing your workspace…
Review a YouTube Shorts composition
Review the right-side action column and lower title/channel area. Shorts can display different controls across app and desktop contexts; avoid treating a single screenshot as a permanent boundary.
Test framing with your own media
Select a static JPG, PNG or WebP image, or a browser-playable MP4/WebM clip up to 60 seconds. Compare Fill and center crop against Fit whole image, then adjust the guides to match the placement you expect. This previews framing; it does not export a converted video.
A useful approximation has limits
Device size, account controls, captions, accessibility settings and platform updates can all change the visible interface. The margins here are editorial choices and must not be used as an official compliance guarantee. Verify a final draft on its actual destination. Selected media stays on your device.
Common questions
Are these official platform safe-area measurements?
No. They are clearly labeled adjustable editorial approximations. Verify your actual destination app and placement.
Can I download the guide?
Yes. The Download transparent SVG guide button exports the current sliders as a 1080 × 1920 vector overlay.
