Where Frames Get Eaten

How it works

A third of the frame is spoken for before your content arrives.

01

The right rail is gone

Like, comment, share and the audio disc stack down the right edge. Roughly the outer fifth of the width is unusable.

Right ~20% reserved

02

The bottom is the caption

The account name, caption and music ticker occupy the lower band. On Instagram it reaches higher than on the others.

Bottom 18–24%

03

The top has a bar too

Status bar, search and the following/for-you tabs sit across the top. Titles placed near the top edge get clipped.

Top ~10%

04

Design to the middle

What is guaranteed visible everywhere is the central column. Put the thing that must be read there and nowhere else.

Safe: middle ~60%

Questions

03
01

Are these the exact official sizes?

They are close approximations measured from current apps. Interfaces shift between versions, so treat them as a margin, not a specification.

02

Does it work with a video?

Not yet — take a screenshot of the frame you are worried about and drop that in.

03

Is my frame uploaded?

No. It stays in this page and disappears on reload.
