Measure From Photo

Easily measure from photo or screenshot: distances, areas and angles with an image measurement tool. Add arrows, shapes and text.

📐 Measure From Photo — Measure & Mark Up Images, Screenshots and PDFs Need to check a distance on a photo, estimate an area from a floor plan, or add notes to a screenshot? Measure From Photo helps you work with visual dimensions and annotations directly in Chrome, without complex design software. Open a picture in the editor, or first open a PDF in a Chrome tab. Define a reference scale using a known dimension, then add measurements and comments. Copy, save, or print your finished work. 📏 DISTANCES, AREAS AND ANGLES Use this image measurement tool for quick dimensional checks: • Measure distance on an image between two points. • Trace connected segments with the Polyline tool. • Measure area on an image by outlining a region. • Check angles between selected lines. • Set a reference scale from a known length. • Choose mm, cm, m, inches, feet, or yards. Results depend on the scale you set. Perspective, picture quality, and the accuracy of your reference affect the measurements. This extension is intended for approximate measurements and is not a substitute for professional measuring tools. 🖼️ PHOTOS AND SCREENSHOTS Working from a room photo, product picture, or construction detail? Open it in Chrome, calibrate the scale, and check the dimensions that matter. You can also capture part of a webpage and add measurements to the resulting screenshot. Typical tasks include: 1. Estimating lengths in a room picture. 2. Checking dimensions on a floor plan. 3. Outlining an approximate surface area. 4. Adding notes to a screenshot before sending it. 📄 PDF DRAWINGS AND FLOOR PLANS To review a PDF floor plan or technical drawing, open the PDF in a new Chrome tab by dragging the file into Chrome or choosing Open with Chrome. Then click the Measure From Photo icon, select the area to work with, and set the scale using a known dimension. Check distances, areas, and angles or point out details for a colleague. This lightweight workflow suits quick reviews of architectural layouts, construction plans, and technical documents. It does not replace CAD software or original drawing dimensions. ✏️ ANNOTATE AND MARK UP Make your feedback easier to understand with built-in drawing tools: • Add arrows to point out important details. • Draw rectangles around objects or regions. • Add text notes you can edit while working in the editor. • Sketch freehand with Pencil. • Blur selected parts of a picture. • Select, move, or adjust annotations. • Undo changes as you work. Keep comments and dimensional references together in one visual result instead of writing long explanations in a separate message. 🚀 HOW IT WORKS 1. Open a webpage, picture, or PDF in Chrome. 2. Click the Measure From Photo extension icon. 3. Capture an area or open a local PNG or JPG/JPEG image. For PDFs, open the file in a Chrome tab first. 4. Set the scale using a known length. 5. Check distances, areas, or angles. 6. Add arrows, shapes, or text. 7. Copy, save, or print the result. No CAD setup or complicated workflow is needed for quick checks and visual feedback. 📋 COPY, SAVE AND PRINT Finished reviewing a drawing or screenshot? Copy the marked-up result to the clipboard, save it as an image, or print it. You can then send the copied or saved result to a client, contractor, or teammate. ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS **How do I measure distance on an image?** Open the picture, set a reference scale from a known length, and select two points with the Distance tool. **Can I measure area from a photo?** Yes. Outline a region with the Area tool after setting the scale. Results from perspective photographs are approximate. **Can I work with a PDF?** Yes. First open the PDF in a new Chrome tab by dragging it into Chrome or using Open with Chrome. Click the extension icon and select the area you want to work with. The local-file picker does not import PDF pages directly. **Can I add arrows and text to a screenshot?** Yes. Use Arrow, Rectangle, Pencil, Text, and Blur to highlight and explain details. **Is this a CAD or professional measuring tool?** This extension is intended for approximate measurements and is not a substitute for professional measuring tools. 📐 SET THE SCALE. MARK UP. SAVE. Turn a screenshot, drawing, or photograph into a useful visual reference. Focus on the details that matter, then copy or save the result to send it.
