FILE DETAILS
YouTube Shorts Thumbnail Safe Zone without guessing from the final upload screen.
Safe-zone preview is a layout check, not a destructive edit. The overlay stays in the preview and the exported image remains clean. Platform interfaces can change, so editable guides are intentionally adjustable; use the current platform preview as the final source of truth.
What you can do
- Preview before export
- Adjust top / bottom / left / right margins
- Keep source and output clean
- Batch-friendly workflow
