Screen Ruler is a lightweight and configurable ruler tool for Windows Desktop.
It allows you to measure the size of elements on the screen in different units, including pixels, centimeters and inches.
Measuring is possible either using a two-dimensional, rectangular ruler scale or a one-dimensional, horizontal or vertical scale.
The ruler can be moved and resized precisely using either the mouse or the keyboard and custom marking lines can be added.
Besides coming with a light and a dark theme, Screen Ruler also allows you to fully customize its appearance by changing all color settings.

In my work I often have to measure wall areas to estimate material need from drawings, and the architects never include all the measurements, never mind my requests and complaints, or give a cad picture where I could measure lengths easier. I had even resigned to forever having the same nuisance every time, to try get a reading with a scale ruler and calculator from the monitor, until I found this wonderful app. It does everything for me, saving me countless hours of useless grind. Thank you! I'd give you a hug and kiss if I could, but I'll have to settle for a donation.

Useful apps. Set : >Calibrate Ruler >Manual >Hor scaling >141 DPI (in my case / Acer an515-58) Calibrate using physical ruler and it's quite precise. Thank you developers 👍Reply from Screen RulerPosted 2024-12-22
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! -
I just created an account for this website solely so I could give this 5 stars. Sometimes the perfect little item comes along and immediately makes you go "how did I go this far in my life without ever having something like this?" Even in a gimmicky driven space like the world of tech, simplicity wins sometimes. In short, I just found my new favorite software utility. @Dev please let me know if you're still active on this site. Next time I get paid I want to send a little donation, so long as I know you'll be around to receive it.Reply from Screen RulerPosted 2024-12-22
