Hi there,

We're excited to roll out a new feature in the Abyssale Design Editor to help you create flawless visuals, especially for dynamic social media platforms: Safe Zone Overlays!

When designing for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, crucial parts of your visual can often be covered by likes, comments, captions, or platform UI elements. This can obscure important content and diminish the impact of your design. Our new Safe Zone Overlay helps you avoid these "dead zones."


What's New?

  • Visual Guidance: Instantly see which areas of your design are safe from being covered by platform overlays.
  • Prevent Content Obstruction: Ensure your key messages, branding, and imagery are always visible.
  • Format-Specific Display: The overlay intelligently appears only on formats where safe zones are relevant, keeping your canvas clean when not needed.

How to Use It

Enabling the Safe Zone Overlay is quick and easy:

  1. Open the Design Editor: Navigate to any of your formats in the Abyssale Design Editor.
  2. Access Zoom Options: Click on the zoom percentage dropdown menu in the top right corner of the editor.
  3. Enable Safe Zones: In the dropdown menu, simply toggle on the "Enable safe zones" option.

Once enabled, a red overlay will appear on your canvas, highlighting the areas where platform UI elements might obscure your content. Design with confidence, knowing your message will always be seen!
