About FrameGuard

FrameGuard is a free browser tool that shows where TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, Snapchat Spotlight and LinkedIn Video draw their interface over your video, so you can keep text and faces clear of it before you post. It's built and maintained by The FrameGuard Team.

Methodology

None of the platforms publish exact pixel margins for their interface, so we measure them directly: uploading test media to each app, capturing the interface at 1080×1920, and recording the distance from each edge to the nearest button, caption or bar. We recheck these values whenever a platform visibly changes its layout, and every page on this site states the date it was last reviewed.

Updates

Values were last reviewed on 2026-09-28. If you spot a margin that looks off, or a layout has changed, tell us at [email protected].

Independence

FrameGuard is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or built in partnership with TikTok, Meta, Google/YouTube, Snap Inc. or LinkedIn Corporation. The site is supported by display advertising, which keeps the tool free with no account or sign-up.
