Motif format & safe area checker - play out social media images perfectly

Check, crop and export free of charge in the browser - without uploading. The checker supports Instagram (story, reel, feed, portrait), LinkedIn posts, Pinterest pins, website hero banners and POS headers, among others. Ideal for brand & marketing teams who want to play out social media image sizes consistently in 2025.

Fast in the browser

Drag & drop, done: your motif stays on the device.

Content-aware tailoring - focus on the center of gravity

The checker automatically suggests a suitable section for each format (center of gravity detection via edge analysis). Fine-tuning is intuitive via drag & zoom. This allows you to avoid cropped products, faces or logos - across all channels.

Safe areas per channel - correctly taken into account

Red borders visualize the zones that are covered by UI elements in apps. This means that the claim, CTA and logo remain visible - from the 9:16 portrait format to the wide website hero. Background information on the "Safe Area" principle can be found in condensed form in the Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

Clean exports on target - ready for e-commerce & SEO

Export as PNG in exact target resolution - individually or as a series for all selected formats. Ideal for product images, teasers and campaign sets. For store clipping, we also recommend our services for clipping & pack shots in 3D. Google provides tips on image performance on websites: Image best practices.

Consistency in the team - sharing & adhering to guidelines

Each setting can be shared as a link - perfect for feedback rounds. For a stringent narrative across channels, it's worth taking a look at our glossary on visual storytelling.

From check to production - CGI in brand quality

On request, the tested motif can be turned into a scalable image world: interior scenes, detail close-ups, series in color/material variants. Especially for furniture and home & living brands: 3D visualization services for furniture.

FAQ - Motif format & safe area check

What file types can I use?

Currently PNG and JPG/JPEG. For best results, we recommend high-resolution, sharp source images.

How does automatic cutting work?

We analyze edges and contrasts to determine a center of interest. From this, a suggestion is calculated for each format, which you can fine-tune by dragging/zooming.

Can I export several formats at the same time?

Yes, you can export individual formats or output a series for all selected formats - each in the correct target resolution.

Are safe area overlays also exported?

No. Overlays, grids and guides are only for preview purposes. The export only contains the pure motif in the correct format.

Are the safe area values customizable?

The common channels are preconfigured so that teams can work directly.

Is the color display retained?

The export takes place in PNG on an sRGB basis, as output by common browsers. For color-critical productions, we also recommend a final quality control on target devices.

What is the Checker particularly suitable for?

For social ads, organic posts, hero banners and POS visuals - wherever motifs need to work reliably in multiple aspect ratios.
