How to use this online ruler

Most screens have different pixel densities (PPI), which means "100 pixels" looks different on a phone versus a desktop monitor. To make this ruler accurate, we need to calibrate it.

  • Click "Calibrate" if the modal doesn't appear automatically.
  • Grab a standard credit card (or any card from your wallet).
  • Adjust the slider until the blue box on the screen matches the physical card width exactly.
  • Click "I'm Calibrated".
