How to Calibrate with a ₹5 Coin
- Open the screen ruler on your device and select ₹5 Coin from the calibration panel.
- Place your ₹5 coin flat on the screen, aligning it with the on-screen outline.
- Adjust the calibration slider until the outline matches your ₹5 coin exactly.
- The calibration is saved automatically. You can now measure any object with the ruler and get accurate readings in centimeters, millimeters, and inches.
Why Use a ₹5 Coin for Calibration?
Calibration is essential because every screen has a different pixel density (PPI). A pixel on a 6-inch phone screen is physically much smaller than a pixel on a 27-inch desktop monitor. By placing a known-size object on the screen, the ruler can calculate the exact physical size of each pixel and convert measurements accurately.
Coins like the ₹5 Coin are particularly useful because they are standardized, widely available, and easy to position on a screen. Their circular shape makes alignment straightforward.
