❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this online ruler?
After calibration using your screen diagonal, device selection, or physical credit card, the ruler is highly accurate. Without calibration it uses a default of 96 PPI which may vary by device.
Why should I keep browser zoom at 100%?
Any zoom other than 100% scales the canvas and produces inaccurate measurements. Always ensure your browser zoom is exactly 100% (Ctrl/Cmd + 0 to reset).
Does this work on mobile?
Yes! The ruler is fully responsive and fills your entire screen on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
