About Online Ruler

Online Ruler is a free measuring tool that runs in a web browser without an account. It offers on-screen rulers in centimeters, millimeters and inches, guides along both axes, image measurement and a protractor for checking angles. Before measuring a physical object against the screen, calibrate the ruler using a reference of known size so that its units match your display. You can adjust the view and use the measuring tools for small objects, drawings and image-based checks. It is useful for students, designers and makers who need a convenient visual reference without installing software.
