Social Camera for Stories & Feed (Safe-Zone Guides)

Good to know: Guides use the percentages Meta publishes for Stories and Reels ads — roughly 14% top, 35% bottom and 6% each side — drawn live while you shoot, with the caption anchored inside the safe box. Feed placements have no overlay, and the tool says so instead of drawing a fake one. Exports are exact: 1080×1920, 1080×1350, 1080×1080 or 1200×630. There is also a transparent guide PNG for Figma, Canva or Photoshop. Your files stay on your device: nothing is uploaded.
How to use it (step by step)
- 1Pick where you will post: Instagram Story/Reels, Facebook Story, or a feed size. The frame changes to that exact shape.
- 2Start the camera (or add a photo). The red bands are where the app puts its buttons, progress bar and reply box — keep faces, text and logos out of them.
- 3Type a headline or second line and choose its position; it snaps inside the safe box, never into the red band.
- 4Take the photo. It saves at exactly the platform size without the guides. Need the guides for a design app? Save the guide template PNG instead.
