Free TikTok Safe Zone Template (UI Overlay PNG)
There’s literally nothing worse than uploading a video to TikTok and having all the important parts get cut off by UI elements. Things like captions or visual elements are unreadable in TikTok’s interface. This is typically due to TikTok overlaying comments and other interface elements over your video.
This is where having a TikTok safe zone template comes in handy. RightBlogger has made this free to download TikTok UI overlay so you can easily see where to put elements while editing your videos for TikTok and Reels.

Creating videos for TikTok and Reels becomes a breeze with the help of RightBlogger’s free TikTok UI overlay template, ensuring your content shines without important elements getting obscured by the interface.
