Questions
What is the safe zone on Instagram Reels?
Meta’s Ads Guide suggests keeping at least 14% of the top, 35% of the bottom and 6% of each side clear (Reels). On a 1080 × 1920 file that is 269, 672 and 65 pixels.
Is it the same for Stories?
Yes, the same numbers for Instagram Stories (Stories) and Facebook Stories (Facebook Stories).
What if my Reels ad has a disclaimer?
Meta says to leave the bottom 40% clear (text overlays and the safe zone). Use the second button above.
What about 1:1 or 4:5 in Feed?
Meta gives no percentages: keep the bottom and side edges free. This tool checks 9:16, where it gives numbers.
