Pixel Ruler Description

Pixel Ruler is a lightweight software 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 run multiple instance of the utility. One of the best features bundled in this app is a smart system which enables you to automatically expand the ruler according to your mouse movements. What’s more, you can change the colors for the background, lines, and text by selecting from a wide range of options. On the downside, you are not allowed to flip the ruler vertically or horizontally. 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 many 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. All in all, Pixel Ruler offers a simple yet efficient software solution for helping you count pixels with the use of a ruler that automatically expands itself based on your mouse movements.
