Frequently Asked Questions
Why is viewport smaller than screen size?
The browser interface, address bar, scrollbars, zoom, and OS scaling reduce the available web page area.
What is DPR?
DPR means device pixel ratio. A DPR of 2 means one CSS pixel maps to about two physical pixels in each direction.
Why does my resolution look different from the box?
Operating system scaling and browser zoom can change how websites report and use pixels.
Does screen size mean inches?
No. This tool reports pixels, not physical inches.

Why does mobile browser height change while scrolling?
Mobile address bars can hide or show, changing the viewport height.
