Well, if you’re using the Firefox browser, now you can download the MeasureIt add-on.

Once you download the MeasureIt add-on, you’ll notice a ruler icon on the lower left-hand corner of your browser window. To measure anything on your screen follow these simple steps:

  • Click on the ruler icon and your mouse pointer will change to a plus sign.
  • Click and drag your mouse over anything on your screen to measure it. (You’ll notice that while you drag you get a light blue box that looks like a ruler and a measurement in pixels is shown to right.)
  • That’s it, when done just click on the ruler icon on the bottom of your screen again to exit.
