TikTok Shop Ad Safe Zones

TikTok's feed UI (like/comment/share buttons, username, captions) covers specific regions of the video frame. TikTok's official creative specifications define "safe zones" that keep key content — product shots, hook text — clear of this UI overlay. This page summarizes the core safe-zone rules with matching FlowPic generation guidance.

Based on TikTok For Business official creative specifications "Safe Zone" guidance

TikTok Official Rule Summary

Recommended aspect ratio

9:16 full-screen vertical (native feed format)

Right-side safe zone

Roughly the right 14% of the frame width is covered by like/comment/share/avatar buttons; keep key content clear of this area

Bottom safe zone

Roughly the bottom 12% of the frame height is covered by username, caption and music info

Top safe zone

Roughly the top 8% of the frame height may be covered by follow buttons or live badges

Matching FlowPic Studio Presets

9:16 full-screen vertical

The TikTok Unboxing POV style outputs 9:16 by default, framed for the natural handheld POV composition on a vertical screen.

Right-side / bottom safe zones

After generating, manually check the studio preview to confirm no key text or product sits within the roughly 14%/12% right-side and bottom coverage zones before exporting.

What this is good for

  • Composition planning for native TikTok ads and creator content
  • A safe-zone reference before bulk-generating UGC-style creative

What it's not ideal for

  • TikTok Live streaming layout — Live UI coverage differs from the feed ad safe zones covered here and needs its own reference
  • Pixel-perfect safe zone values — TikTok client updates may shift UI dimensions slightly, so always confirm with a manual preview after generating
