How to measure an angle on Android
On Android, the most reliable workflow is: screenshot → upload into the tool → align → measure → export.
1
Take a sharp screenshot
2
Open the tool and upload
3
Align a baseline using the grid
When this helps
Use this for angles in screenshots from apps, web pages, videos, CAD viewers, or PDF diagrams. A sharp, high-resolution capture improves stability.
Step-by-step
- 1Take a sharp screenshotCapture the screen and crop to the angle area. Include a little extra on each side for easier alignment.
- 2Open the tool and uploadOpen the online protractor in your browser, tap upload, and select the screenshot from Photos/Gallery or Files.
- 3Align a baseline using the gridRotate/flip and use the grid until one side direction is straight and consistent.
- 4Place the vertex and pick 180°/360°Move the center to the vertex. Use 180° for interior angles; switch to 360° for reflex angles (>180°).
- 5Export once it matchesSanity-check the reading by re-aligning and re-placing the vertex if needed. Export PNG/PDF when it’s correct.
Tips
- Use a larger screenshot: zoom before capture when edges are thin or low-contrast.
- Avoid perspective distortion (camera angle) when measuring photos of real objects—choose a frame that looks as flat as possible.
- For fine tuning, switch snap mode or turn snap off for the last 1–2 degrees.
