What is Ruler?

Ruler

Ruler is a handy little tool that web designers and graphic artists can really appreciate. Sometimes, when you're working on your computer, you need to measure things, but not all applications come with a ruler built in. That’s where Ruler steps in!

Why Choose Ruler?

This utility is pretty straightforward and lets you measure pixels on your desktop easily. You can set it up in different ways, and guess what? You can even have multiple rulers open at the same time! This means you can compare sizes or dimensions without any hassle.

A Bit of Background

Now, just to give you some context, Ruler is based on an original project by Jeff Key. But don’t worry; it comes with some cool extras that make it way more useful than the original.

Using Multiple Rulers

You’ll love this feature: you can have two or more rulers on your screen at once! Each one can have its own size and settings. Need to lock one down so it doesn’t move while you're measuring? No problem—just lock it! Plus, if you want to set specific dimensions for the ruler, there's an easy dialog box for that.

No Installation Needed

The best part? You don’t even need to install anything! Ruler comes as a single executable file that runs from anywhere on your computer. So if you’re in a rush or working on multiple projects at once, this tool has got your back.

Customize Your Experience

You can tweak how see-through the ruler is and even make it stay on top of other windows. Got a vertical measurement? Just rotate the ruler with a couple of clicks—easy peasy!

Limitations

Just keep in mind that there aren’t any fancy color options available right now, and it only measures in pixels. No other units are supported for now.

Your Go-To Measurement Tool

If you're someone who needs to measure various objects on your screen regularly, then Ruler is definitely worth checking out. It's quick to set up, lets you use multiple rulers at once, and has some great features that'll make your work easier!
