Measuremate — Pixel Ruler

Measure distances between any elements on any website. Pixel ruler, CSS inspector, and alignment guides — everything you need for pixel-perfect design handoff, right in your browser.

Measuremate is a measuring tool built for frontend developers, web designers, and QA engineers who need precise pixel measurements without leaving the browser. Lightweight, private, and fast.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TWO POWERFUL MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔍 INSPECTOR MODE — Click any element to inspect it. See dimensions, distances to neighboring elements, and full CSS details. Hover to preview before selecting.

📐 GUIDES MODE — Place vertical and horizontal ruler guides anywhere on the page. Snap to element edges, measure between guides, and verify alignment like in Figma.

Switch between modes with a single keystroke.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT YOU CAN DO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📏 MEASURE DISTANCES between any two elements — spacing, gaps, padding, margins. On-page dimension lines show exact pixel values.

🎯 INSPECT THE CSS BOX MODEL with visual breakdown of content, padding, border, and margin (including negative margins).

🔬 VIEW DETAILED CSS by category — Layout (display, position, flex, grid, z-index), Text (font, color, line-height, letter-spacing), and Attributes.

🌳 NAVIGATE THE DOM TREE — browse from root to any element, hover to preview, click to inspect.

🖼️ MARQUEE SELECT multiple elements at once by dragging a selection box.

📐 DROP VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL GUIDES on any page with a single keystroke. Use arrow keys for 1px precision, Shift+arrows for 10px jumps.

🧲 SNAP TO ELEMENTS — guides and cursor automatically snap to element edges and centers.
