Keep text and logos at least 240 px from the top, 660 px from the bottom, 120 px from the left and 120 px from the right of a 1080×1920 TikTok video. Checked 23 October 2026.
TikTok ships an official In-Feed ad template. We measured its cut-out pixel by pixel; the organic zone uses the same numbers.

TikTok publishes safe-zone files for ads only. Organic uses the same app chrome, so the official ads template is the conservative proxy. Community advice is looser. Choose by risk: use ads values for anything that may be boosted.

Measured by us from TikTok's own downloadable template (standard LTR, 1-line caption variant). Safe area narrows below y=0.4375: the right edge becomes 0.722 (right rail column ~0.278 wide = 300 px at 1080). Longer captions/anchors move the bottom up: TikTok says the zone depends on caption length; AdKit measures the Anchor 4-line variant at bottom 0.528 (1014 px). Arabic RTL mirrors the rail to the left. AdNabu's 160/440/80 are the same numbers on a 720x1280 canvas.

TikTok ships a 'Square Feed 640x640' template, but the PNGs in the zip are phone mockups (750x1334) with no transparent safe cut-out we could measure. Not sourced - left null.

TikTok ships a 'Horizontal Feed 960x540' template; the PNG is a phone mockup (the video sits as a band: top 0.222, bottom 0.658 of the mockup) with no usable cut-out. Not sourced - left null; use R95 as a stand-in.
Two sets of numbers circulate for TikTok: 160/440/80 px and 240/660/120 px. They are the same zone at two canvas sizes (720×1280 and 1080×1920). We settled it by measuring TikTok’s own template PNG at 2880×5120. TikTok also notes that the zone grows with caption length: with a four-line caption the bottom margin reaches about 53%.
