Free TikTok Overlays for Shorts and Reels
Short-form video lives on fast, clear graphics: a follow prompt, a caption pop, a flash on the beat. All of those can be overlays on a vertical clip, and they are quick to reuse across every video you post.
Choose a vertical output size when you edit or generate your asset, then place it above your footage in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or your phone editor.

Keep graphics inside the safe area
Platform buttons and captions cover the edges of a vertical video. Keep important elements away from the bottom and right edges, and check the result in the app's preview before posting.
