Text getting cropped?
Design a safe cover with MateTikTok · 1080×1920 · top 140px / bottom 400px / right 180px
| Area | Clearance | What covers it |
|---|---|---|
| Top | ≈140 px | Camera entry / audio chip |

| Left | ≈60 px | Edge cropping |
| Right | ≈130 px | Like/comment/share rail |
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.
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.

Mostly. Stories share the 1080×1920 canvas but move interactive stickers around, so keep critical text inside the Reels-safe area and it will survive Stories placement too.
Older or shorter screens crop the 9:16 frame slightly at top and bottom. The dashed safe area in the template already accounts for typical cropping, which is why edge-to-edge text is risky.
