What are the dimensions of that image? How big is this window? Does this layout fit on an NTSC display? What color are these pixels? What does this icon look like close up? How can I capture an arbitrary portion of the screen? These are just a few of the questions that kept coming up as I developed applications and web pages. Various tools are available to answer some of these questions but I could not find any that answered them all or that had a usable interface. So I created Meazure, a program that measures, magnifies and captures the screen by providing a battery of features in a cohesive user interface. Even better, Meazure is free!

Meazure 2.0 can be downloaded from the Simtel software archive by pressing the button below. C Thing Software relies on Simtel's worldwide mirroring and high download bandwidth to ensure that the high demand for Meazure can be met. While Simtel is an independent site from C Thing Software, it has an outstanding reputation and a long history in hosting high quality software.
