Snapchat's Swipe-Up Zone: What Gets Hidden

Story Ads (9:16)

Story Ads (9:16) safe zone preview

The bottom ~20% (384px) is the "Swipe to Visit" interactive zone - placing your CTA there competes directly with Snapchat's own swipe prompt. The top ~12% (230px) shows your brand name, Snapchat logo, and "Ad" label. Snapchat already renders your brand at the top, so putting your logo there is redundant. For Collection/Dynamic Ads, treat the bottom 30% as the danger zone instead.
