Feature Tour
1. On-Screen Protractor for Digital Measurements
The on-screen measurement mode provides pixel-perfect angle detection for digital images and documents:
Image Upload and Import: Support for JPG, PNG, SVG, and PDF files enables measurement on any digital document. Drag-and-drop functionality streamlines workflow, while paste-from-clipboard instantly analyzes screenshots captured from design tools, web browsers, or applications.
Interactive Protractor Interface: Transparent overlay preserves image visibility while highlighting measurement geometry. Adjustable opacity (10-100%) optimizes contrast across light and dark backgrounds. Resizable protractor accommodates various image scales without loss of precision.
Multi-Point Angle Definition: Three-point angle definition (vertex with two rays) ensures accurate measurement of complex geometric configurations. Snap-to-grid functionality aligns measurement points with pixel boundaries for pixel-perfect accuracy. Magnetic guidelines detect edges and lines within images for streamlined alignment.
Measurement Precision Controls: Precision selector offers 0.1°, 0.5°, 1°, 5° increments matching project requirements. Fine-tune mode enables keyboard arrow controls for micro-adjustments. Angle complement and supplement automatically calculate related angles (90° complement, 180° supplement).
2. Device Sensor Integration for Physical Leveling
Transform mobile devices into professional-grade spirit levels using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors:
Real-Time Tilt Detection: Live angle readout displays current tilt relative to horizontal and vertical reference planes. Visual bubble indicator mimics traditional spirit level behavior for intuitive interpretation. Numeric precision shows exact degree measurements when precise values are required.
Calibration System: Zero-point calibration compensates for device case thickness and surface irregularities. Reference surface calibration stores custom level references for repeated measurements. Sensor fusion combines accelerometer and gyroscope data for enhanced stability and accuracy.
Multi-Axis Measurement: Independent X-axis and Y-axis tilt measurements detect compound angles. 3D orientation view visualizes device position in space for complex alignment tasks. Pitch, roll, and yaw measurements support aerospace and robotics applications.
Audible Feedback: Tone frequency changes as device approaches level, enabling hands-free operation. Vibration pulses when achieving level threshold (±0.5°) provide tactile confirmation. Custom alert thresholds accommodate varying precision requirements.
3. Camera Overlay for Real-World Measurements
Measure physical objects and spaces using augmented reality protractor overlay:
Live Camera Integration: Real-time camera feed maintains full device resolution and frame rate. Protractor overlay renders with adjustable transparency (20-90%) for optimal visibility across varying lighting conditions. Freeze-frame capture locks current view for detailed analysis.
Reference Line Tools: Horizontal and vertical reference lines assist in establishing baseline measurements. Plumb bob virtual overlay verifies true vertical alignment independent of device orientation. Grid overlay provides angular divisions at 5°, 10°, 15°, 30°, 45°, and 90° intervals.
Measurement Photography: Capture mode saves annotated images with embedded angle measurements for documentation. Annotation tools add labels, notes, and dimension lines to captured images. Measurement history archives previous readings with timestamps and context notes.
AR Stabilization: Image stabilization compensates for hand tremor and device movement during measurement. Edge detection algorithms automatically identify strong geometric features for alignment assistance. Contrast enhancement improves line visibility in low-light conditions.
4. Measurement History and Documentation
Comprehensive logging ensures measurement traceability and workflow integration:
Session History: Chronological log records all measurements within current session with timestamps. Quick recall retrieves previous measurements for comparison or verification. Batch export generates CSV or JSON data for spreadsheet analysis.
Annotated Screenshots: Automatic annotation overlays measurement values, units, and reference geometry on captured images. Custom labels identify measured features (e.g., “roof pitch,” “miter angle,” “design element”). Color-coded measurements distinguish multiple angles within single image.
Export Capabilities: PNG export with transparent background enables overlay on documentation. PDF report generation compiles multiple measurements with descriptive text. Direct sharing to email, messaging, and cloud storage streamlines collaboration.
5. Advanced Calculation Features
Beyond basic angle measurement, the tool provides geometric calculations:
Complementary and Supplementary Angles: Automatic calculation of complementary angle (90° - measured angle) for right-angle construction tasks. Supplementary angle (180° - measured angle) assists in opposing angle determination. Reflex angle (360° - measured angle) completes full rotation measurements.
Angular Conversions: Instant conversion between degrees, radians, gradians, and turns accommodates diverse engineering and scientific standards. DMS format (degrees, minutes, seconds) supports surveying and navigation applications. Mil angular unit serves military and artillery calculations.
Trigonometric Functions: Sine, cosine, and tangent values for measured angles support engineering calculations. Inverse trigonometric functions solve angle from ratio problems. Unit circle visualization demonstrates trigonometric relationships.

Troubleshooting
Issue: Camera Overlay Not Appearing on Mobile Device
Symptoms: Camera permission granted but camera feed not displaying in overlay mode, black screen appears instead of live camera view.
Solutions:
- Check Browser Compatibility: Camera API requires modern browser with WebRTC support. Update to latest Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge version.
- Verify HTTPS Connection: Most browsers require secure HTTPS connection for camera access. Use Gray-wolf Tools’ secure domain rather than HTTP localhost.
- Grant Camera Permissions: Navigate to browser settings → Site permissions → Camera → Allow for graywolf-tools.com.
- Close Other Camera Apps: Ensure no other applications are actively using device camera, as most mobile devices allow only one camera access at a time.
- Restart Browser: Force-close browser application and relaunch to reset camera connection state.
Issue: Sensor-Based Spirit Level Shows Erratic Readings
Symptoms: Tilt measurements fluctuate wildly, bubble indicator oscillates rapidly, readings don’t stabilize even on level surface.
Solutions:
- Calibrate Sensors: Use device calibration feature by placing on known level surface and pressing calibration button. Repeat calibration on multiple reference surfaces.
- Remove Device Case: Thick protective cases can interfere with accelerometer readings. Remove case or calibrate with case installed.
- Check for Magnetic Interference: Metal surfaces, magnets, and electronic devices can affect sensor accuracy. Move to neutral surface for calibration.
- Enable Sensor Fusion: In settings, enable “sensor fusion” mode which combines accelerometer and gyroscope data for enhanced stability.
- Update Device Software: Outdated operating system versions may have sensor driver issues. Update to latest OS version.
Issue: On-Screen Measurements Don’t Match Known Angles
Symptoms: Measuring angles on technical drawings produces values different from specifications, consistent offset in all measurements.
Solutions:
- Verify Image Orientation: Ensure uploaded image hasn’t been rotated during upload. Re-upload from original source.
- Check for Image Distortion: PDF imports or screenshots may introduce perspective distortion. Use original vector files (SVG) when possible for accurate measurement.
- Calibrate Measurement Points: Place protractor vertex precisely at angle vertex point, ensure both rays align exactly with angle lines, not parallel offset lines.
- Account for Image Resolution: Low-resolution images introduce pixelation errors. Use minimum 1920x1080 resolution images for sub-degree accuracy.
- Use Zoom Feature: Zoom to 200-400% magnification when positioning measurement points for pixel-level precision.
Issue: Exported Measurements Missing from Saved Images
Symptoms: Screenshot capture succeeds but saved image doesn’t show protractor overlay or angle annotation, only shows original image.
Solutions:
- Enable Overlay in Export Settings: Check “Include overlay” option in export settings before capturing screenshot.
- Use Built-in Capture: Use tool’s capture button rather than OS screenshot function to ensure overlay rendering.
- Wait for Render Completion: Allow 2-3 seconds after positioning protractor before capturing to ensure overlay rendering completes.
- Check File Format: Export to PNG format to preserve transparency and overlay quality. JPG compression may degrade annotation visibility.
- Verify Browser Canvas Support: Ensure browser supports HTML5 Canvas API for overlay rendering. Update to modern browser version.
Issue: Angle Measurements in Radians Show Unexpected Values
Symptoms: Radian measurements don’t match expected values, conversions between degrees and radians appear incorrect.
Solutions:
- Verify Unit Selection: Confirm radian mode is enabled in measurement units dropdown. Tool defaults to degrees.
- Understand Radian Scale: Full circle = 2π radians ≈ 6.283 radians. 90° = π/2 ≈ 1.571 radians. Values outside 0-2π indicate multiple rotations.
- Check Precision Settings: Increase decimal precision in settings to display more significant figures for accurate radian values.
- Use Reference Angles: Verify against known conversions: 45° = π/4 ≈ 0.785 rad, 60° = π/3 ≈ 1.047 rad, 90° = π/2 ≈ 1.571 rad.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I measure angles on architectural blueprints or engineering drawings?
Yes, the on-screen protractor mode excels at measuring angles on technical drawings. Upload PDF, JPG, or PNG files of blueprints, CAD drawings, or engineering schematics. The transparent overlay preserves drawing visibility while enabling accurate angle measurement. For best results, use original vector PDFs rather than photographed or scanned copies to avoid perspective distortion. The zoom feature enables precise vertex and ray positioning on complex technical drawings.
Q2: How accurate is the device sensor spirit level compared to professional tools?
Modern smartphone sensors achieve ±0.5° accuracy under ideal conditions, suitable for most DIY and semi-professional applications. Professional construction levels offer ±0.029° (1mm per 2m) accuracy. For critical structural work, use professional instruments. However, for furniture installation, picture hanging, appliance leveling, and general DIY projects, smartphone sensor accuracy proves more than adequate. Calibrate on a known level surface before use to maximize accuracy.
Q3: Can I measure angles larger than 180 degrees (reflex angles)?
Yes, the protractor supports full 360° rotation for reflex angle measurement. Position the vertex at the angle’s vertex point and rotate the measurement arm beyond 180° to measure reflex angles. The angle display shows both the direct angle and its reflex complement. For example, measuring a 270° reflex angle automatically displays “270° (reflex)” with the complement “90° (direct)” for reference. Switch between representations using the reflex toggle button.
Q4: Does the camera overlay mode work with all smartphone cameras?
Camera overlay requires device and browser support for WebRTC Camera API, available on all modern iOS (Safari 11+), Android (Chrome 53+), and desktop browsers (Chrome 53+, Firefox 36+, Edge 12+). Front and rear cameras both supported with toggle button to switch between. Some older devices or restricted corporate environments may block camera API access for security reasons. Test using the browser’s native camera permission test to verify compatibility.
Q5: How do I measure the angle between two intersecting lines in a photograph?
Upload the photograph to on-screen mode, click to place the protractor’s center point (red dot) precisely at the line intersection point, rotate the first measurement arm (red line) to align with one line, then rotate the second arm (green line) to align with the other line. The angle display shows the measured angle between the lines. Use the zoom feature (mouse wheel or pinch gesture) to magnify the intersection area for precise alignment. Snap-to-edge feature can automatically detect strong lines in the image for easier alignment.
Q6: Can I save measurement history for later reference?
Yes, the measurement history panel logs all measurements within your session, including timestamp, angle value, mode (on-screen/camera/sensor), and optional custom labels. Export history to CSV format for spreadsheet analysis or JSON for programmatic processing. Individual measurements can be annotated with project names or reference numbers. History persists in browser local storage between sessions until manually cleared. For long-term archiving, export annotated screenshots with embedded measurement data.
Q7: What’s the difference between degrees and radians, and when should I use each?
Degrees divide a circle into 360 equal parts (historical basis from Babylonian astronomy and approximate calendar days). Radians divide a circle into 2π parts based on radius-to-circumference ratio (mathematical/scientific preference). Use degrees for construction, architecture, navigation, and general applications due to intuitive whole numbers (90°, 45°, 30°). Use radians for trigonometry, calculus, physics, and engineering because trigonometric functions simplify mathematically (derivative of sin(x) is cos(x) only when x is in radians). The tool instantly converts between both units.
Q8: Why does my device’s spirit level reading differ from a physical bubble level?
Several factors create discrepancies: device case thickness creates offset from reference surface, sensor calibration drift over time requires recalibration, protective screen films may introduce tilt, and manufacturing variations in sensor placement affect accuracy. Calibrate the digital level against your trusted physical level by placing both on the same surface, noting the difference, and applying calibration offset in tool settings. Additionally, physical bubble levels can develop air bubble size changes or fluid leakage affecting their accuracy over time.
Q9: Can I measure angles on curved surfaces or irregular objects?
The camera overlay mode can measure apparent angles on curved surfaces, but accuracy depends on camera position and surface orientation. For accurate 3D angle measurement on curved surfaces, position the camera perpendicular to the surface plane at the measurement location. Measure tangent angles (the angle of a line tangent to the curve) rather than attempting to measure curve radius directly. For complex 3D geometries, consider using specialized 3D scanning tools. The protractor works best on planar (flat) surfaces or measuring 2D projections of 3D objects.
Q10: How do I share measurements with team members or clients?
Multiple sharing options available: (1) Export annotated screenshots with embedded measurements as PNG or JPG for email, messaging, or documentation, (2) Generate PDF reports compiling multiple measurements with descriptions and context notes, (3) Copy measurement values to clipboard for pasting into spreadsheets or reports, (4) Export measurement history as CSV for team analysis in Excel or Google Sheets, (5) Use direct sharing button to send via device sharing menu to email, Slack, Teams, or cloud storage. Annotated images include timestamp, measurement value, and custom labels for clear communication.
