Safe Zone Specs
Map where Facebook places the creator name, caption, music info, and reaction icons on your Reels content.
Facebook Stories add a header bar and reply prompt — verify your sticker and text placement for this format.
Facebook vertical ads include a "Sponsored" label and CTA button that further reduce the visible area — the checker accounts for these.
Facebook uses equal 60px margins on both sides — simpler than the asymmetric layouts of TikTok and Reels.
What It Does
The Facebook safe zone is the 960×1520px area within a 1080×1920 canvas where your content is not obstructed by Facebook's interface. This applies to Facebook Reels, Stories, and vertical video ads. Facebook overlays the creator name, caption, reaction/share icons, and navigation elements outside this zone.

The top 100 pixels are covered by the status bar and Facebook's navigation header with back button and search.
The bottom 300 pixels hold the creator name, caption text, music info, and the bottom navigation bar.


Symmetric 60px margins on both sides — reaction icons sit within the right margin but closer to the bottom-right corner.
Why AdConvert



One safe zone covers Facebook Reels, Stories, and vertical ads — check once and publish confidently to all three formats.
Facebook ads with unobstructed CTAs and clear product info drive more clicks — wasted ad spend drops when viewers can see your full message.
When you know Facebook's exact margins, you can adapt Instagram or TikTok content faster — just shift elements to match the 960×1520 zone.
Before & After
| Dimension | Without AdConvert | With AdConvert |
|---|---|---|
| Ad CTA visibility | Shop Now button blocked by Facebook's own CTA overlay | Custom CTA placed above the platform overlay zone |
| Caption conflict | Product name overlapping with auto-generated caption text | Product info and caption occupy separate vertical zones |
| Cross-format consistency | Same creative used for Reels, Stories, and ads with inconsistent clipping | All three formats validated against the 960×1520 safe zone |
| Reaction icon overlap | Logo placed where the like/love reaction icons appear | Logo positioned within safe zone, away from reaction cluster |
How it works

Drag your 1080×1920 image or video file — works for Reels, Stories, and vertical ad creatives.

The tool renders the 960×1520 safe area with Facebook-specific UI elements mapped — header, caption zone, and reaction icons.

Shift any elements outside the safe zone, re-upload to confirm, then publish with confidence.
FAQ
Common questions about this tool.
It is the 960×1520px area within the 1080×1920 canvas where content is not covered by Facebook's UI elements — creator name, caption, music info, and navigation bar. The zone applies to Reels, Stories, and vertical video ads.
The safe zone is 960×1520px with margins: top 100px, bottom 300px, left 60px, right 60px. Symmetric side margins make Facebook one of the simpler platforms to design for.
The core safe zone is the same — 960×1520px. However, Stories add a reply prompt at the bottom and Reels add a music ticker, so the practical bottom margin may vary slightly. This checker uses the conservative 300px bottom margin that covers both.
Facebook has a smaller bottom margin (300px vs 320px for Instagram Reels) and symmetric side margins (60px vs 60/120px). Facebook's UI is slightly less aggressive than Instagram Reels but more involved than Instagram Stories.
Yes. Facebook vertical ads add a "Sponsored" label at the top and a CTA button ("Shop Now", "Learn More") at the bottom. These additional overlays can reduce the visible area beyond the standard 960×1520 safe zone.
Technically yes, but the safe zones differ across all three platforms. Facebook has 300px bottom, Instagram Reels has 320px, and TikTok has 484px. The safest approach is to check each platform individually and adjust text placement accordingly.
