About

RefScale

Read full description

RefScale measures real-world sizes from a photo. Put a card, your phone or any object of known size next to what you want to measure and take a photo, or use one you already have. Mark the reference, then draw lines for length and rectangles for area, right on the picture. Useful for parcels and shipping boxes, furniture and rugs, clothes for online listings, fabric, prints and everyday objects. Features: • Lines for length; rectangles for width, height and area • Reference presets for bank cards and iPhone models, or your own custom size • Photos taken at an angle: mark the reference by its 4 corners • Name each measurement ("Width", "Chest"), add notes and search your measurements • Take a photo in the app, choose one from your library, or paste an image • mm, cm, inches and feet • Share the annotated photo; Pro adds full-resolution exports without a watermark and a PDF report Pricing: Your first measurement is free. Pro Lifetime is a single purchase for unlimited measurements, with no subscription. Measurements are estimates. The result depends on the photo and on where you place the points: keep the reference next to the object on the same flat surface, and take the photo straight on (or use 4 corners).
