What is safe Frame ?

SafeFrame’s open line of communication between webpage code and the ad content has several key benefits, including:

  • Support for Viewability and other Industry Initiatives

While SafeFrame 1.0 is a leap forward in digital technology, its benefits will not be fully realized until key publishers implement it on their pages and ad developers have made the necessary modifications to support serving their ads to SafeFrames. As an open-source technology, SafeFrame is encouraging quick adoption, but ad developers and technology vendors should remain patient as publishers transition to SafeFrame 1.0.

What Is SafeFrame Container ?

  • SafeFrame specifies a framework that creates a container around HTML content served to a webpage and establishes an API to enable communication between the webpage and the served content.Container where actual creative will render is basically the safeframe Container.
  • With SafeFrame specified objects and functions are used to manipulate and interact with created SafeFrame containers, allowing for rich-interactions. The primary use for SafeFrames is to encapsulate external HTML content with SCRIPT tags or other markup while protecting the host page from content that could otherwise inadvertently or purposefully affect the host site in unexpected ways.

    content where it was once impossible in a standard iframe.
