Safe zones needed for YouTube channel banner, YouTube thumbnail templates and other static templates

As Safe zones on Adobe Express are now available for limited social media templates, It would be great if this list gets extended.

Available safe zones

For example, the YouTube channel banner is a tricky one because YouTube shows only its middle horizontal part on most devices (except TV), and new users don’t always know why the banner template has a larger height.

YouTube also puts a dark time stamp above video thumbnails on the channel page so the safe zone for the correspodning template shoud not include right lower corner.

And so on. It would be great if this super-useful feature were available for all social media templates where visual issues can appear.

    Hi ​@Nataliia_M, Thanks for sharing this.

    It's a thoughtful feature request, and the YouTube channel banner example highlights the challenge well. Since only a portion of the banner is visible across devices, it's easy for users to place important content in areas that may be cropped.

    Adding safe zones or visibility guides to more templates would certainly make it easier to design with confidence and reduce guesswork, especially for users who are new to platform-specific requirements.

    I'd suggest you submit this as a feature request on Adobe Express UserVoice if you haven't already. Our product team regularly reviews feedback there, and other users can upvote the idea to highlight demand.

    Thanks again for taking the time to share the suggestion. It's a valuable use case for the team to consider.

    Best!
