Instagram Reels Safe Zone Checker

It's the part of a 9:16 Reel that isn't covered by Instagram's interface. The top of the screen has the Reels header and camera icon, the right side has the like, comment, share and audio buttons, and the bottom has your username, caption and audio name. Text and faces outside the safe zone can be hidden behind these.

A common guideline is to keep key content out of the top 14% (about 270 px), the bottom 35% (about 670 px) and the right 13% (about 140 px), with a small margin on the left. That leaves a safe area of roughly 880 x 980 px in the middle of the frame. These numbers are approximate: the interface changes with phone size, caption length and app updates.

Yes. Stories have no button column on the right, so you can use more of the width. The top has the progress bar, profile picture and close button, and the bottom has the reply bar. Keeping roughly the top 13% and bottom 18% clear works for most Stories.

No. Your image or video is opened directly in your browser and never leaves your device. The tool draws the frame you choose onto a canvas on your screen, and the download is created locally too.

Reels fill the screen at 9:16. If your video has a different shape, such as 4:5 or 16:9, Instagram crops or pads it. Use Fill to preview the crop, or Fit to see the whole frame with bars.

Ask viewers to comment a keyword, for example "Comment PLAN for the template". Hypello can reply to every comment with a DM that includes your link, so the Reel keeps bringing in leads while you sleep.
