Sometimes, you just need a quick answer.
How far apart should you hang those pictures? What size tablecloth will fit your table? How many packages do you actually need to buy? And which option will cost you less when you have to purchase whole packages?
These are the kinds of everyday questions that can turn into a surprising amount of searching, measuring, calculating, and second-guessing.
So we've started building something new!
Meet Jungle Studios Tools
We've launched Jungle Studios Tools, a growing collection of free online calculators and practical utilities designed to help you figure things out and get on with your day.
Each tool focuses on a specific problem. You enter a few measurements or details, and the calculator helps you make sense of the options.
No complicated software to install. No account to create. Just practical tools you can use right in your browser.
And yes, they're completely free to use!
What can you do with these tools?
We've already launched several, covering everything from decorating your home to making smarter purchases.
Here are a few examples:
Hang pictures with evenly spaced gaps
Trying to arrange several pictures across a wall, especially when the frames are different widths?
Our Picture Row Spacing Calculator helps you calculate the gaps and exactly where each frame should go.
Compare tablecloth sizes before buying
Not sure whether a particular tablecloth will hang too short or too far over the edge?
The Tablecloth Size Comparison Calculator lets you compare actual sizes and see how much fabric will hang over the sides and ends.
Find out which package is really the better purchase
Sometimes the package with the lowest price per item isn't the cheapest way to buy what you need.
Our Whole-Pack Purchase Comparator calculates how many complete packages you'll need, what you'll spend, and how many items will be left over.
Check bedspreads and dining rugs
Shopping for a new bedspread or dining room rug?
The Bedspread Size & Drop Comparison tool helps you compare how different coverings will fit your mattress.
And our Dining Rug Fit Comparison tool helps you consider rug sizes, chair clearance, and even what happens when you extend your dining table.
Plan how much gift wrap you'll need
Our Gift-Wrap Roll Project Planner helps you plan wrapping paper for multiple gifts and compare different roll sizes before purchasing.
Why are we building these?
At Jungle Studios, we've spent years helping businesses and organizations use the internet more effectively.
But the internet can also be useful in much smaller, everyday ways.
Sometimes the best website isn't one that gives you another ten pages to read. It's one that gives you a simple, helpful way to solve the problem you're working on.
That's the idea behind Jungle Studios Tools.
We're combining our experience in web design and development with today's coding technology to create small, focused utilities that are easy to use.
Some will be for business. Others will be for home projects, shopping, hobbies, events, or whatever practical problems we find along the way.
We don't know exactly how large this collection will become, but we're enjoying building it one useful tool at a time.
Take a look around!

And if you have an idea for a simple calculator or tool that would make something easier, we'd love to hear about it.
Sometimes the most useful ideas begin with a very ordinary question:
"Wouldn't it be nice if there were a little tool that could figure this out for me?"
Well... maybe we can build one! 🌿
