Is there any way to measure distance? Something like a ruler tool, or if a line can be drawn between two points with a length display?

Thanks!

Short of your creating a new object using the Miro API, I’d suggest adding this as a wish list topic here: https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32 so others in the community can vote on it.

If you do so, please provide a use case to show the value of such an enhancement.

        MeasureMint App

        Hi @Stephen Jarjoura (and for the thousands of people landing here looking for a ruler tool in Miro):

        Miro didn't have a native ruler, so we went ahead and built one using the Miro Web SDK!

        It’s called MeasureMint, it’s an approved free Miro Marketplace app, and it works exactly as Stephen described:

        • 📏 Draw a line between two points with a length display: Click and drag anywhere on your canvas, and it drops a clean measurement line with an active, readable length tag.
        • 📐 Custom Scale & Calibrate: Works on plain canvas, or you can calibrate imported drawings, PDFs, and floor plans to real-world feet/inches or meters/cm.
        • 🔄 Imperial & Metric: Instant conversion between feet, inches, meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
        • ⚡ Runs 100% Inside Miro: No third-party windows or leaving the board required.

        You can install it directly from the Miro Marketplace here:
        👉 MeasureMint on the Miro Marketplace

        Hope this finally gives everyone looking for a ruler in Miro the solution they need!
