Frequently Asked Questions About Safe Zone Templates
Everything you need to know about vertical video margins, platform guidelines, safe zones, and editing workflows.
Why do TikTok Ads have much larger danger zones than organic TikTok?
TikTok In-Feed Ads introduce a large call-to-action button (e.g., 'Shop Now', 'Learn More', 'Download App') and a sponsored brand disclaimer banner right above the native bottom navigation. This expands the bottom margin danger zone from 380px to a massive 520px.
Will TikTok reject an ad if text is in the danger zone?
Yes. TikTok Ad Review often automatically flags and rejects ads or lowers ad delivery (higher CPMs) if crucial promotional copy, pricing numbers, or legal disclaimers are covered by TikTok interface buttons or CTA banners.
What is the recommended text safe area for TikTok Ad creatives?
Keep all ad copy, headlines, offers, and logo badges within the central 890 × 1240 pixel rectangle (Top: 160px, Bottom: 520px, Right: 130px, Left: 60px).
