How to make a custom height chart with your own photos
You can build a to-scale height chart from your own pictures in a minute, no design skills needed.
- Open the tool and press Add photo. Use a full-length photo of one person standing straight; the background is removed automatically.
- Type the person’s real height. The photo is scaled so the top of the head sits exactly at that height.
- Repeat for everyone else, or mix in celebrities, animals and buildings from the library.
- Drag people to arrange them, then press Export to download a PNG or a story-sized image.
Tips for accurate charts
- Use photos taken from about chest height, straight on — see why photos distort height.
- Crop tightly around the person so the feet touch the bottom of the image.
- Photos stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Ideas for a photo height chart
- A family chart that shows children next to parents and grandparents, repeated every year to record growth.
- A team or class line-up, sorted by height.
- A cosplay or costume group standing next to the characters they play.
- Your pets next to you, at true size.
- You next to a celebrity or athlete whose height you know.
Common problems and fixes
If a person looks too wide or too narrow, the photo was probably taken from too close with a wide-angle phone camera: retake it from three or four metres away and zoom in. If the feet are cut off, the figure will float, so make sure the whole body is in the frame. If the background is not removed cleanly, use a photo with a plain wall behind the person.
Sharing the chart
The exported PNG includes the ruler and every label, ready to print or post. The story format is sized for phone screens. Photos you add are processed in your browser and are not stored on a server.
