Design with breathing room
Margins for a message people can read
The Instagram preset uses a 1080 × 1350 frame; TikTok uses 1080 × 1920. Both come from LoopBatch’s existing carousel render formats. The highlighted box shows our starting text margins, while the shading shows the surrounding space.
These margins are LoopBatch layout recommendations. They are not official platform safe-zone measurements or a guarantee against cropping. Photo carousels and vertical video have different interfaces; ad safe-zone diagrams for Reels should not be treated as carousel requirements.
Keep the main point short, put essential text inside the suggested area and test the exported slide in the app where you plan to post. Long copy is flagged when it extends past the preview’s text area; the browser preview can wrap differently from the final renderer.
Read the carousel sizes and safe-zone guide for the formats, platform limits and sources. Then explore a repeatable creator workflow for building the full series.
Carousel layout questions
Are the highlighted margins official platform rules?
No. They are the starting text margins used by LoopBatch’s carousel layouts. Platform image requirements are separate and linked in the carousel guide.
Can I use this preview for Reels or Shorts?
This preview is for still-image carousel slides. Video overlays and ad placements have different safe-zone guidance.
Is this my finished carousel?
It is a quick typography and spacing preview. Review your actual exported slides on each destination before publishing.
