What image formats can I upload?

You can upload PNG, JPEG, WebP, or AVIF images.

Which platforms can I preview?

The tool previews Instagram Feed, Story, and Reels, TikTok, YouTube, X, and LinkedIn.

Does the tool export resized or cropped images?

No. It previews potential cropping and covered regions rather than exporting new image sizes.

What does the red mask show?

The red mask marks pixels that may be cropped by the aspect ratio or covered by platform interface elements.

What is the blur overlay used for?

The blur overlay visually obscures unsafe regions instead of showing them with a red mask.

Social Media Safe-Zone Preview

Upload one image and preview how it appears on Instagram Feed/Story/Reels, TikTok, YouTube, X, and LinkedIn — with platform safe-zone overlays showing exactly which pixels get cropped or covered by UI before you publish.

Details

What this tool helps you do

A visual compliance checker for social media. Upload a single image and the tool renders it into each platform's exact frame with a red mask marking the unsafe regions — pixels cropped by the aspect ratio or covered by UI overlays (reply bars, action buttons, captions, timestamps). A green dashed box marks the safe zone. Unlike a multi-size resizer (which exports crops), this diagnoses what you will LOSE on each platform so you can reposition before publishing. Safe-zone insets based on 2024-2025 platform specifications.

2 examples

Landscape photo → all-platform preview

A wide landscape source image checked against all 8 platforms with the default red-mask overlay. The report flags which platforms crop the image (IG square, verticals) and shows the highest-loss platform, helping reposition the subject before posting.

<section class="szp"><header><h2>landscape</h2></header><div class="grid">...8 platform cards...</div></section>

Square logo → vertical-only preview with blur mask

A square logo image previewed only on the vertical 9:16 platforms (Story, Reels, TikTok) using the blur overlay. Demonstrates the blur-fill background behavior for non-9:16 sources and the tighter TikTok safe zone.

<section class="szp"><div class="grid">...3 vertical cards...</div></section>
