Pixel Ruler

Pixel Ruler is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you use a virtual ruler for counting pixels.

It comes in handy in case you are working with CAD programs and need to measure the distances between objects, or simply want to find out the size and position of photos, documents, icons, or other objects.

It sports a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to perform most operations with minimum effort.

Pixel Ruler gives you the possibility to move the virtual ruler to any area of the desktop and flip it vertically or horizontally.

What’s more, you can change the background color of the ruler by selecting from different preset colors.

Pixel Ruler automatically displays the value whenever you hover the mouse over a specific area on the ruler. By default, the utility remains on top of other applications.

Since it doesn’t comprise any configuration settings, even rookies can master the process with just a few clicks. During our testing we have noticed that Pixel Ruler carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, Pixel Ruler offers a simple yet efficient software solution when it comes to helping you use a desktop ruler. It can be easily installed and configured by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
