Dimensions

A tool for designers to measure screen dimensions

Features & Capabilities

Dimensions is a powerful Chrome extension tailored for designers needing precise measurements of screen elements. It measures distances from your mouse pointer up, down, left, and right until it reaches an element border, making it perfect for analyzing spaces between images, buttons, text, icons, and more directly within your browser.

Designed to simplify design workflows, Dimensions supports measuring elements on mockups in PNG or JPEG format by simply opening them in Chrome and activating the extension. Features like area boundary measurements, including radius calculations for circles, and a convenient ALT + D keyboard shortcut enhance productivity. As an open-source tool hosted on GitHub, designers and developers can contribute or customize it further to suit their needs.

User Reviews

Users praise Dimensions as a simple and useful tool for measuring elements on web pages, valuable especially for web designers requiring precise pixel measurements. It works well in some Firefox versions and has an attractive interface. However, multiple reviews report issues with hotkey functionality, inability to disable with Esc key, occasional complete loss of functionality in certain Firefox versions, and concerns over extensive permissions. Additionally, users wish there were an option to copy measurements directly from elements. Overall, the extension is appreciated but has key functional and privacy concerns.

  • Simple and useful for measuring elements on web pages.
  • Helpful for web design and getting exact pixel measurements.

Is Dimensions Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dimensions requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
