FAQ
What is the Instagram Reels safe zone?
It is the central area of a 9:16 Reel where text and key visuals stay fully visible. Instagram's UI covers roughly 140 px at the top, 500 px at the bottom around the caption and audio row, and about 130 px on the right action rail.
How do I use the safe zone template PNG?
Drop the transparent overlay onto the top layer of your edit in CapCut, Premiere, or the Reels composer preview, arrange your text and subject inside the dashed area, then delete the overlay before exporting.
Is the template free for commercial use?
Yes. All safe zone templates and overlays on this page are free to download and use in client or brand work, no attribution required.
