PixelStick
PixelStick is a versatile Mac app that allows users to measure distances, angles, and colors on-screen across any application. Unlike similar tools limited to specific software like Photoshop, PixelStick works universally on your Mac display. It functions as a virtual on-screen ruler that can be positioned horizontally, vertically, or at any angle to take precise measurements in pixels, degrees, and more.
Key benefits include:
- Works in any application, not just design software
- Measures distances in pixels, angles in degrees, and captures RGB color values
- Supports Retina and regular displays across multiple monitors
- Offers customizable scaling options for maps, photos, and other scaled images
- Includes a magnifying loupe for pixel-perfect precision
- Color eyedropper tool copies values in multiple formats (CSS, RGB, hex)
- Intuitive drag-and-drop interface for easy measurements
PixelStick is an invaluable tool for designers, developers, cartographers, researchers, and anyone needing to take precise on-screen measurements. Its flexibility and ease of use make it accessible for both professionals and casual users looking to enhance their workflow and accuracy when working with digital images and layouts.
