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

  1. 1
    Take a sharp screenshot
    Capture the screen and crop to the angle area. Include a little extra on each side for easier alignment.
  2. 2
    Open the tool and upload
    Open the online protractor in your browser, tap upload, and select the screenshot from Photos/Gallery or Files.
  3. 3
    Align a baseline using the grid
    Rotate/flip and use the grid until one side direction is straight and consistent.
  4. 4
    Place the vertex and pick 180°/360°
    Move the center to the vertex. Use 180° for interior angles; switch to 360° for reflex angles (>180°).
  5. 5
    Export once it matches
    Sanity-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.
