IO DeveloperWhen demand is realized
To achieve a perfect-looking digital product, the technology professionals spend a lot of time working with pixels. A typical workflow could be characterized by:
- Take screenshot, open it in an image editing software.
- Measure and adjust the image using integrated tools.
Achieving precise proportions can be time-consuming that leads the developers and digital designers to have a digital ruler measuring any objects on screen. Pixel Ruler is an on-screen tool designed to align precisely, streamline workflows, reduce redundancy, and save time.
