TikTok Safe Zone Dimensions for 2026

TikTok's user interface covers specific areas of your 1080x1920 pixel vertical video. If you place important text, faces, or call-to-action elements in these "danger zones," they will be hidden behind TikTok's navigation tabs, engagement buttons, or caption area. Understanding these zones is critical for every creator who wants their content to look professional.

The top 200 pixels are reserved for TikTok's navigation tabs (For You / Following). The bottom 370 pixels (from 1550px down) are covered by captions, username, music ticker, and CTA buttons. The right side from 900px onward (180px wide) is where the like, comment, share, and bookmark icons appear. Your safe zone sits between these areas - roughly the center 78% of the screen.
