ad-platform-safe-zoneslisted

Current (2025–26, source-verified) safe-zone and canvas specs for ad creatives on Meta (FB/IG Feed, Stories, Reels), TikTok, and Google (Demand Gen, Responsive Display, Gmail), plus a bundled validator that checks finished images and renders overlay proofs. Use this whenever you generate, compose, resize, audit, or export ANY ad or social media creative — story/reels ads, feed images, banners, thumbnails, 9:16 / 4:5 / 1:1 / 1.91:1 canvases — even if the user never says "safe zone": platform UI covers large parts of the canvas and widely-known numbers are outdated (Meta's 9:16 bottom clear zone is now 35%, not the old 20%/340px). Also use it when the user asks "will this get cropped/covered?", "what sizes do I need?", or wants an export set for a paid campaign.

# Ad Platform Safe Zones Platform UI (profile chips, captions, CTA bars, action rails) is drawn ON TOP of ad creatives, and multi-placement delivery auto-crops assets. A creative that ignores this ships with its price, CTA, or logo hidden. This skill gives the current keep-clear numbers, the export-set logic, and a validator script — use them instead of remembered figures, because the most widely circulated numbers (Meta "250px top / 340px bottom") are obsolete: **Meta's current official 9:16 zone is top 14%, bottom 35%, sides 6%**. ## The numbers that matter (quick reference) All pixel values below are for the stated canvas; the zones are percentages, so scale them for other resolutions. | Canvas | Placement | Keep clear of text/logo/CTA | Live area | |---|---|---|---| | 1080×1920 (9:16) | Meta Stories + Reels (unified zone) | top 269 px (14%), bottom 672 px (35%), sides 65 px (6%) | x 65–1015, y 269–1248 | | 1080×1920 (9:16) | TikTok In-Feed (template-derived) | top ~130, bottom ~484, left ~44, right ~140 px | x 44–940, y 130–1436 | | 1080×1920 (9:16) | **Meta ∪ TikTok one-master** | strictest of each edge | **x 65–940, y 269–1248** | | 1440×1800 (4:5) | Meta feed (current recommended feed ratio) | no UI overlay — ~80–100 px craft margin; keep critical elements in center square (1440×1440) so a 1:1 crop survives | — | | 1080×1080 (1:1) | Feed/carousel/Marketplace/Google 1:1 | no UI overlay — ~60–80 px craft margin | — | | 1200×628 (1.91:1) | FB link/right column; Google
