Use your character art
Choose a figure's “Art and details”, then add a full-body PNG. Trim to the head and feet so the stated height matches the drawing.
To keep your pictures with the lineup, save it below: it reopens with each picture and its trims, in this browser or from the downloaded file. A share link uses the outline instead.
Build a character lineup with labels, notes and your own art.

How big is the difference?
Type your height and anyone else’s, in feet and inches or centimeters: 5 9, 5'9 and 175 all work. The drawing and the gap change as you type, and everyone stands on the same floor at the same scale.

Your art, your lineup
Drawing characters? Upload a full-body picture for any figure under “Art and details”, and trim it at the head and feet; it is scaled to the height you give it.
The saved PNG keeps your art. A share link keeps only the names and heights.
A height needs context
Famous heights are often rounded up or taken in shoes. When a person has more than one published height, their page shows each one and where it comes from, so you choose which to draw.
