The result

Real dimensions, right on the photo.

Width, height, every measurement you tap — labeled on the image and ready to share.

A photo with measurements labeled directly on the image

Precision

Pinpoint every edge.
Down to the pixel.

Zoom in to place reference edges and measurement points exactly where they belong. A magnifier follows your finger so the marker never hides under your thumb.

Real-world accuracy starts with a clean tap.

AI Extend recovers more scene around cut off measurement photos

AI Extend

When the photo is cut off,
fill in what's missing.

Trees, packages, furniture — sometimes you can't fit it all in one shot. AI Extend reconstructs the scene around your image so you can finish measuring without retaking the photo.

Pick Medium for balanced cost, or High for a sharper result.

How it works

Why a reference gives you real numbers.

A camera doesn't know how big anything is — until something in the photo does. Drop in a credit card, a coin, an iPhone, or any object with known dimensions, and RefScale uses it to set the scale.

Every other measurement in the frame falls into place from there.

Choose a reference object — card, phone, or custom size

Everything else

Built for the way you actually measure.

Dozens of reference presets

Cards, every iPhone model, common objects — or define your own custom size.

mm · cm · in · ft

Switch units instantly. Every measurement on the photo updates in real time.

Custom labels & annotations

Tag each measurement with text so the photo explains itself when you send it.

No account required

FAQ

Good to know before you measure.

How accurate is RefScale? +

RefScale gives approximate measurements. For best results, keep the reference and measured object on the same plane and take the photo straight-on.

Do my photos get uploaded? +

Photos used only for measurement stay local. AI Extend uploads the selected image so the extension can be generated.

What can I use as a reference? +

Use an object with known dimensions, such as a payment card, supported iPhone model, or custom reference size.

What can I measure? +

Flat, visible objects work best: boxes, furniture, prints, parts, and similar everyday items. Keep the reference next to the object for the most useful estimate.

What units does RefScale support? +

Millimeters, centimeters, inches, and feet. Switch instantly — every measurement on the photo updates in place.

What is AI Extend? +

When your photo cuts off the scene, AI Extend helps generate more surrounding image area so you can continue working without retaking the shot.

Can I share or export the result? +

Yes. Export the annotated photo with every label burned in, or share it straight to Messages, Mail, or any app that accepts images.
