Questions

Where is the safe zone on a 1080 × 1920 vertical video?

Keep captions, titles and faces at least 250 px below the top edge, 140 px away from the right edge (where the icon stack sits), and 420 px above the bottom edge (where the caption and audio bar sit).

Does the safe zone work for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts too?

Yes. Switch between TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts in the preview to check all three before you export.
