LinkedIn Safe Zones
Preview how your video will look on LinkedIn
Design perfectly framed videos for LinkedIn
Add the Safe Zone overlay without any additional downloads
Ensure key content isn't covered by the LinkedIn interface
When creators post to social media, key parts of the video — like captions, calls-to-action, or faces — end up hidden behind the app’s likes, comments, and share buttons. With our LinkedIn Safe Zones template, you can instantly apply a masked overlay that shows where to avoid placing text or important visuals, helping you position content correctly from the start.
The Safe Zones feature works directly within Kapwing's online editor and, unlike other tools, doesn't require any downloads or manual setup. Simply upload your video, click the LinkedIn icon in the right sidebar, and the Safe Zone overlay appears on your image or video. The overlay won’t export with your final content, but it provides a powerful solution for influencers, social media managers, and small business owners who need to align their content with the LinkedIn interface without disrupting their workflow.
Toggle overlays on/off for streamlined editing
With Kapwing, you can switch the LinkedIn Safe Zones template on and off at any point in the editing process — no need to export, download, or reapply the overlay. This flexibility helps creators stay focused without visual clutter and makes it easy to adapt content for multiple platforms. Seamlessly switch between Safe Zone templates with platform-specific borders and margins for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.
Whether you're working on short-form ads, branded content, or everyday LinkedIn videos, being able to monitor and adjust your framing as you go is essential. This is especially useful for creators adding text, subtitles, or motion graphics that need to remain clear of interactive UI elements. The built-in safe area checker makes alignment fast and intuitive and reflects the most recent 2025 LinkedIn layout specifications.
Edit and publish videos in one online studio
The LinkedIn Safe Zones feature is part of a full video editing studio, making it easy to add overlay templates, edit content, and publish directly to social media without switching tools. It’s built for social media managers, content creators, and agencies who collaborate across teams and devices, with real-time updates accessible from any desktop or mobile browser.
After checking your LinkedIn safe areas, you can keep working within the same studio to add subtitles, translate audio, remove backgrounds, or dub your content into over 100 languages. It’s a streamlined way to produce educational videos, influencer campaigns, or LinkedIn ads quickly and efficiently.
