Measure pixel distances on screen

Designers and QA testers often need quick pixel measurements between UI elements. Enter start and end coordinates in CSS pixels, adjust calibration if your browser zoom differs from 100 percent, and read the span on a live ruler preview.

Calibration tips

CSS pixels are logical units. If your display scaling or browser zoom is not 100 percent, lower or raise the calibration percentage until the preview matches a known reference on your layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these physical inches?

No. The tool reports CSS pixel distance. Calibration only adjusts for zoom, not monitor DPI.

Can I measure vertical spacing?

Yes. Switch the preview orientation to vertical and use the same start and end values.

What is a good preview length?

Match the preview length to the area you are measuring so tick marks align with your layout width or height.
