asked on Photo editor with dimension tool
Hi,
Can you recommend a program/software, if possible free or even online tool/page, which is able to add on a photo with just few clicks dimension lines/annotation?
Preferably Microsoft Windows (7 or 10).
What I mean is to have for example 2 vertical lines and then another one in-between with arrows at the ends + a text showing the dimension in mm or cm or pixels above that line with arrows.
Usually that is done in CAD programs, but I search for a free or a simple cheap alternative only for photos.
Normally I do that easy in any photo editor or even in Microsoft Word, but are too many steps and I would like to make it faster.
An example is CorelDraw dimension tool, where I can import photos on background and then I can work with the dimension tool.
I am just wonder if there is any other simpler, cheaper, or free option to add the dimensions in few clicks on some photos.
I will write/edit/correct the value of the dimensions. It is not important what values writes the software automatically.
How about an online tool?
Gimp it measures on the picture.
I do not need that.
For example for horizontal, I need to have drawn the 2 vertical lines and an arrow with 2 heads in-between and to stay like that on the picture.
The same for vertical.

I do not care about the dimension values, but the guidelines and arrows and text above/below the arrow is important.
and Solved: grid tool for pictures | Experts Exchange (experts-exchange.com)
That looks like the tool that I need.
I did not buy it yet, neither tested it, but as it looks from description, it seems exactly what I need.
Thank you.
