Measure anything in your photos

Measure anything in any photo.

No tape measure? No problem. Snap a photo or import one from your library, set a reference you already know the size of, and get real-world lengths, angles, and areas — drawn right on the image.

Stop guessing

"About this big" isn't a measurement.

Furniture that won't fit. Walls you can't reach with a tape. A listing photo you need dimensions from. Image Ruler turns any photo into a precision tool — as long as you have one known reference in the frame, you can measure everything else.

How it works

One reference line.
Every measurement at real scale.

Place a reference on something you already know the size of — a credit card, a door, a brick. Every ruler, angle, and area you draw after that is calculated automatically in true scale. Fast, visual, and dead simple.

Measure on the image itself

For best accuracy, keep your reference object and what you're measuring on the same plane, with the camera roughly parallel to both. Perspective distortion affects results. Measurements are estimates based on the reference you provide.
