Safe Zone

Keep important details clear of trimming risk.

The safe zone is the red reminder that trimming is real.

Editor Guides Demo

Switch between layflat and bound behavior, then turn guides on and off like the real menu does.

What this means

Safe zone is the red reminder that trimming risk is real. Photos can cross it, but the details you cannot afford to lose should stay clear.

Guide preview

The guide layer sits above the spread. Layflat keeps the center open. Bound albums need more respect at the spine.

The live editor exposes these through View > Guides and a dedicated guides explainer. Bound albums and layflat albums do not behave the same at the center.

Photos may overlap this guide, but important content should not depend on the risky edge area.

Keep these away from the edge whenever possible:

  • faces
  • text
  • essential composition details

Safe zone is not there to ruin bold layouts. It is there to stop expensive regret.
