Dimensions Extension

This extension measures the dimensions from your mouse pointer up/down and left/right until it hits a border. So if you want to measure distances between elements on a website this is perfect. It doesn't really work with images because there the colors change a lot pixel to pixel.


# Images & HTML Elements

Measure between the following elements: images, input-fields, buttons, videos, gifs, text, icons. You can measure everything you see in the browser.


# Mockups

Your designer handed you mockups as PNGs or JPEGs? Just drop them into Chrome, activate Dimensions and start measuring.


# Keyboard Shortcut

You can start and stop dimensions with the ALT + D shortcut.


# Area Boundaries

Wanna get the radius of a circle? Is text standing in your way? Press Alt to measure the dimensions of a connected area.


# Open Source

Dimensions is Open Source and hosted on Github. Want to port it to Firefox? Go ahead and fork it. Pull requests are welcome! https://github.com/mrflix/dimensions

Rob Davis (ID: 000000908be69c4e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/03/2023 It sort of works and it sort of doesn't. First you have to make sure the extension icon is lit for the site you are trying to measure. Then you have to fight the browser. The ALT+D shortcut just highlights the address bar. For some pages and some CSS elements it snaps to the wrong things making it useless, but for others it works fine. YMMV
