YouTube Shorts Safe Zone: Keep Key Content Away From UI
Shorts uses full-screen vertical presentation, but controls and text can cover edges of the frame. Keep key text and logos in an editable central area.

A 9:16 export can still put a headline or logo under navigation, captions, action buttons or other interface chrome. A safe-zone preview helps you inspect placement before export.
Use official pixels only when the platform publishes them
Pinterest publishes explicit full-screen safe-zone margins. Other platform interfaces can vary by placement, device, caption length or feature, so Batch Img Tools labels those overlays as editable guidance instead of permanent official coordinates.
Keep the overlay out of the final file
The safe-zone layer is a preview aid only. Exported files remain clean, so the same source can produce multiple platform outputs without accidental guide marks.
