Build a character lineup to scale

Start with each character’s name and stated height. Paste the list into the chart, add full-body art if you have it, and keep the version, pose and footwear in the notes.

Open this character lineup
Every figure stands on one baseline; these are original character examples. Outlines are symbols, not to scale.

Turn your notes into figures

Open “Use your character art” and paste one name and height per line, separated by a comma. For example: Ari, 165 cm. Use the units your notes already use; different figures can use different units.

For a published character, record the canon or version you mean. A game model, a sprite and a stated profile height are different kinds of evidence. Choose the matching note in “Art and details”; it remains your annotation.

Paste your character list

Align the artwork with the measurement

Use art you own or have permission to use. A full-body PNG with a transparent background is easiest to align. The tool trims transparent margins; use the top and bottom trims to align the head and soles with the entered height.

A hat, tall hair, a raised arm or a bent knee can make an image’s total height differ from a standing-height claim. Use an upright reference or describe the pose. The tool cannot recover a hidden body height from pixels.

Align your character art

Arrange, check and share

Use the order menu for shortest first, tallest first or the original order. Duplicate a figure to try another outfit or source value. Undo restores the previous lineup after an edit.

Save the lineup under “Save this lineup” to come back to it with your art: it keeps each picture and its trims in this browser, and “Download saved lineups” puts them all in one file you can open in another browser. Save PNG for a finished picture. A share link preserves names, heights, colors, outlines and notes, but uses neutral outlines instead of your uploaded pictures. Open the link in a fresh tab to see what someone else will receive.

For the arithmetic alone, use the height difference calculator. For a different unit, use the height converter.
