Measure Construction Drawings Online — Free Takeoff Tool
No licence key, no install, no trial that expires mid-job. Upload a drawing, calibrate the scale, and measure linear, area, volume and count quantities directly on it — free, and every drawing stays in your browser, never uploaded anywhere.
Open the Takeoff Tool — It's FreeHow it works
1. Upload your drawing
Drop in a PDF or image of your plan — kitchen layout, extension drawing, site plan, whatever you're quoting from.
2. Set the scale
Click two points on a known dimension, enter the real-world distance, and every measurement after that is calibrated automatically.
3. Measure & export
Trace linear runs, areas, volumes or count items directly on the drawing, then export a CSV or a marked-up copy for your records.
Everything you need for a quick, accurate takeoff
Linear, area, volume & count
All four measurement types, on the same drawing, grouped by item.
Multi-sheet projects
Add extra pages with their own scale — every measurement still combines into one export.
Personal item library
Remembers your item names, units and colours, so repeat jobs measure faster.
Notes & annotations
Arrows and labels for site notes, kept separate from your quantities.
CSV & marked-up exports
A spreadsheet of every quantity, plus an annotated copy of the drawing to check against.
100% private
Your drawing is measured entirely in your browser — it never touches a server, not during upload, not during measuring.

Frequently asked questions
Is MyTakeoff free?
Measuring is free, permanently, with no account needed — upload a drawing, calibrate the scale, and see every result at no cost. A free account is only needed to export a CSV or marked-up image, or to sync your item library across devices.
Will there be paid plans?
Yes. Pro plans (unlimited exports, item library synced across devices), a pay-as-you-go option, and a discounted student rate are launching soon alongside free accounts — see the pricing above. Measuring itself stays free either way.
Do I need to create an account to use it?
No. There's no signup wall — open the tool and start measuring straight away.
Are my drawings uploaded to a server?
No. Everything — the drawing, the scale calibration, every measurement — is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever sent anywhere.
What file types can I upload?
JPG, PNG and PDF drawings.
Can I measure more than one drawing in the same project?
Yes — add extra sheets, each with its own scale, and every measurement still appears together in one combined list and export.
