Visualize safe zones for vertical videos. Upload your content and ensure perfect UI placement with our client-side overlay preview. Your images never leave your device.


Hey Product Hunt! 🚀
I’m the maker behind OverlayCheck. I built this because I was tired of seeing creators (myself included!) spend hours on a video only to have vital captions or CTAs buried under TikTok’s "Like" button or the Reels "User Profile" icon.
The Problem: Social media interfaces cover up to 30% of your screen. Most current "safe zone" solutions are static, outdated PNG templates you have to hunt for on Google.
The Solution: I wanted a zero-friction, interactive tool to "proof" visibility instantly. With OverlayCheck, you can:
Toggle between platforms: Instantly switch between TikTok, Reels, and Shorts UI to ensure your content works everywhere.
Adjust Opacity: Use a slider to see exactly how your edit interacts with the native app buttons.
No friction: Just upload and preview. No account sign-ups or bulky editors required.
I’m currently refining the component-based UI for 100% accuracy. I’d love to hear which platform you think I should add next!
OverlayCheck: Now with Video Support (Private & Local Preview)
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I launched OverlayCheck to help creators stop their content from getting blocked by TikTok's UI.
The #1 request was: "We need to test VIDEOS."
Today, I'm shipping Video Support. 🎥
But we kept the core philosophy: Zero Friction.
What's New?
Local Preview Engine: When you select a video, it plays directly from your device's memory.
Toggle Overlays: Instantly verify against TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts safe zones.
Why use this?
🛡️ No Sign-Up Required: Just drag, drop, and check.
🔒 100% Private: Your video is never uploaded to any server. Perfect for NDA content.
⚡ Better than a Burner Account: Stop wasting time uploading to a private test account just to check caption placement. Do it here in 5 seconds.
