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.
Save this lineup
Keep lineups in this browser and come back to them. Names, heights, colours, notes and the pictures you added are saved. Download them as a file to move them to another browser or keep a copy. Nothing is sent to us.
From two heights to one answer
Convert both heights to the same unit, then subtract the shorter from the taller. The calculator uses the entered decimals before rounding the displayed result.
For example, 5 ft 9 in minus 5 ft 3.5 in gives 14 cm (5.5 in). You can enter one side in centimeters and the other in feet and inches.
Compare like with like
For people, a barefoot measurement and a height in heels answer different questions. The couple height difference guide shows how shoes, sitting and camera position change the gap you see. For buildings, include the same kinds of parts, such as an antenna or spire.
Published listings may be rounded. A decimal result describes the arithmetic, not how precisely the people were measured. Browse people’s listed heights to find someone for your comparison.

The writing guide turns explicit example heights into neutral descriptions and staging choices. It separates whole-body height from unmeasured eye or shoulder positions.
