To calibrate a ruler, you can utilize physical objects such as:

  • Credit card
  • US $1 bill
  • Piece of A4 paper
  • Piece of Letter size paper

To calibrate, simply place one of these objects against your computer or laptop monitor and adjust the PPI (pixels per inch) using input box or plus/minus buttons at right top corner of the website until the displayed size matches the actual size of the object.
