Measure Screen

Measure Screen is a user-friendly piece of software whose main function is to help users obtain the accurate dimensions of various items on their screen in pixels.

The application is quite simple and reliable, and it does not require an installation process, enabling users to work with it immediately after download. It runs minimized in the system tray, so as not to interfere with other activities and can be called out through hotkeys.

Measure Screen features a set of default keyboard shortcuts for 'Measure Once', 'Measure' and 'Clear, which are 'Shift + F9', 'Shift + F10' and 'Shift + F11' respectively. These however, can be customized to meet users' requirements and help them quickly learn the size of an object, with just a few button presses. In order to measure a specific element, all users need to do is hover the mouse cursor over that spot and push the previously-assigned keys.

The utility measures distances vertically and horizontally for same-colored objects, stopping when it reaches a pixel of a different color. It displays the results next to the rulers which emphasize the covered distances. Measure Screen can only be used for straight-angled objects, so it will not provide users with the width and height values in the case of oblique elements.

Measure Screen is mainly aimed at web developers whose work often involves the need for precise and accurate measurements, without having too much time to waste with complex programs. Similarly, this small tool can prove handy for testers or graphic designers, but even regular computer users can find Measure Screen helpful in establishing the sizes of various items on their screen.

To summarize, Measure Screen is a lightweight and efficient application that can be used in a variety of situations where pixel-precision sizes are required, finding use in fields such as web development, design and other related areas.
