Frequently Asked Questions
Why is calibration needed for an online ruler?
Browsers cannot detect the physical screen size or DPI (dots per inch) of your monitor or smartphone automatically due to security sandbox features. Calibration calculates the exact Pixel density (PPI) of your specific device, ensuring the ticks are physically accurate.
Does this screen ruler work on smartphones?
Yes! The online ruler is touch-responsive and works on all Android and iOS smartphones. For the best experience, toggle fullscreen mode to prevent phone viewport scrolling.
Is my screen calibration setting saved?
Yes. The calculated PPI is securely saved in your browser's LocalStorage. When you visit this page in the future, the ruler will already be calibrated and ready.
