How to Use the Online Ruler

đź“Ś Accuracy Tips: For best measurement accuracy, please ensure:
1. Your browser is set to 100% zoom (no zoom in or out).
2. Calibrate your screen using credit card, diagonal, or auto-detect for best results.

Calibrate Your Screen

Click Calibrate and pick a method: Credit Card (~0.5% accuracy, recommended), Diagonal (enter screen size in inches), or Auto Detect (quick estimate). Credit card uses the ISO standard size for the most precise PPI.

Keep Zoom at 100%

Make sure your browser zoom is set to 100%. Zooming in or out will distort the on-screen scale and lead to incorrect measurements.

Easily switch between centimeters and inches, depending on what you're measuring or your personal preference.
