About this tool
Test a sponsored disclosure's contrast, size, on-screen duration and placement.
The Sponsored Disclosure Placement Checker previews your paid-partnership wording on a 9:16 vertical frame with the top safe zone and the caption/controls obstruction area marked, so you can see whether the disclosure survives the crop, the overlay UI and the thumbnail before you publish. Load a reference frame from your clip, type the disclosure exactly as it will appear, and check it against the standard every major regulator applies: a disclosure has to be clear, conspicuous and hard to miss, not buried. You can then export a plain-text review report recording the wording you checked and the placement review notes alongside it.

The preview marks both the top safe-zone boundary and the lower caption/controls obstruction band, which is where platform UI covers overlay text on real devices.
The disclosure you type is rendered as the on-frame overlay, so an over-long or low-contrast phrasing shows up as a layout problem before you burn it into the video.
Export writes a timestamped text report with the wording and review notes, which is what you want on file if a brand or platform asks how the disclosure was placed.
Early, on screen, and in the part of the frame no platform UI covers — typically the upper area inside the safe zone, not the bottom where captions and controls sit. Regulators including the FTC require disclosures to be clear and conspicuous and difficult to miss, which in practice means viewers should not have to tap 'more' or pause to find it.
No. It renders your disclosure on a 9:16 frame with safe-zone guides so you can judge legibility, position and obstruction visually, and the exported report reminds you to confirm contrast, size, on-screen duration and platform compliance yourself. There is no automated pass or fail score.
It depends on where it lands. A disclosure buried in a block of other hashtags, placed below the fold of a caption, or shown too briefly to read is generally not treated as clear and conspicuous, which is exactly what the frame preview is for. Check the specific platform's branded-content rules and, for anything contractual, your own legal adviser.
Yes — the optional reference upload accepts an image or video file and displays it above the preview frame, so you can compare your intended overlay position against the actual footage. Files stay on your device.
