What is Screen Resolution Checker?

A screen resolution checker shows your display size and the browser viewport — the area available to web pages after chrome and toolbars. Designers and frontend developers use it to verify breakpoints, DPR (device pixel ratio), and “what size is this device really?” during QA.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my screen resolution?

Open the Screen Resolution Checker — it reads your display and viewport automatically.

No upload or signup; values come from the browser APIs.

What is the difference between screen and viewport?

Screen is the full display; viewport is the visible page area inside the browser.

Responsive CSS usually keys off viewport width, not the physical panel size.

What is device pixel ratio?

DPR is the ratio of physical pixels to CSS pixels (often 2 or 3 on phones).

High DPR is why images need 2x assets for sharpness.
