Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about controls, features, accuracy, and local browser saving.

How many millimeters are in 1 centimeter?
There are exactly 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. For example, a measurement of 3.4 cm corresponds to exactly 34 millimeters.
Why does an uncalibrated screen ruler look inaccurate?
Computer operating systems assume a default display resolution of 96 pixels per inch (DPI), but modern laptop and mobile displays range from 110 DPI to over 300 DPI (Retina). Calibrating with our credit card tool adjusts the CSS pixels per millimeter (PPM) to match your physical hardware.
