The short answer
Why use Measure Radius?
Pixel measurements settle questions that are hard to answer by eye. Calibration also lets a known scale turn pixels into a real-world unit.
Measure Radius focuses on measuring radius from image points or typed coordinates. Points can be placed on the image or entered numerically. The calculation uses those coordinates and the optional pixels-per-unit value.
The selected file stays in this browser tab and is released when you leave the page. Results are only as accurate as the selected points and calibration. Leave calibration at 1 when the answer should stay in pixels.
What Measure Radius does
Open the source photo
Drop, choose, or paste a supported file into Measure Radius. Measuring radius from image points or typed coordinates. The source stays on your device; we work on a copy.
Read the numbers
Measure Radius is for measuring radius from image points or typed coordinates. The preview is the place to decide if the setting went too far. The original file is not overwritten.
Useful controls
Main controls: Point coordinates and an optional pixels-per-unit calibration. Working limit: 50 MB and 50 megapixels per image. Watch the preview at full size before you save. A current desktop browser usually has more memory than a phone.
Copy the result
Export is an on-screen measurement and an annotated image where the tool supports one. The download is a new file. Keep the original until you have opened the copy once.
Where Measure Radius fits
These are ordinary jobs where the focused controls save time. They also show where a full editor or a manual review may still be the better choice.
Design checks
Confirm spacing, radius, or alignment before copying a layout.
Reference photos
Measure a known feature after entering a reliable image scale.
Pixel inspection
Use Measure Radius when a visual estimate is not precise enough.

This table covers the parts that matter before you begin: what goes in, which controls do the work, what comes out, and where the browser draws a hard line.
| Check | What it means here |
|---|---|
| Supported input | JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG and browser-supported AVIF images |
| Main controls | Point coordinates and an optional pixels-per-unit calibration |
| Output | An on-screen measurement and an annotated image where the tool supports one |

Before you export
- Zoom in before placing points on a hard edge.
- Use the longest reliable calibration distance available.
- Keep calibration at 1 for pixel-only answers.
- Perspective can distort real-world measurements in ordinary photographs.
