Pixel measurements do not need physical calibration

When you are checking an interface, screenshot or layout, pixel mode gives a direct CSS-pixel distance. Drag across the ruler and the live value follows the pointer.

Physical units are different

Centimetres and inches depend on how logical browser pixels map to the actual panel. That relationship changes between devices and can change after display scaling or zoom adjustments.

A compact tool for designers and testers

1Ruler runs in the browser without extensions. Fullscreen removes most visual clutter, while rotate mode lets you measure along a vertical edge.

Questions people ask before measuring

What is pixel mode for?

Pixel mode measures CSS pixels on the current page. It is useful for interface spacing, screenshots and layout checks where physical centimetres are not the target.

Does pixel mode need physical calibration?

No. Pixel measurements use the browser coordinate system directly. Calibration is only needed when you want the ruler to represent physical cm, mm or inches.
