Midpoint Calculator
Enter two (x, y) points to find the exact midpoint between them.
The exact centre of a segment
The midpoint is the point exactly halfway between two others, and finding it is a staple of geometry, design, and graphics work. Enter both points and this returns the midpoint coordinates instantly.
The midpoint of (2, 3) and (8, 7) is (5, 5), the average of the x-values and of the y-values. That average is all the midpoint ever is, which is why it works for any pair of points.
Simple and private
It averages each coordinate, handles decimals and negatives, and runs entirely in your browser so nothing you enter is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the midpoint found?
By averaging the coordinates: the midpoint of (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2).
What is the midpoint used for?
Finding centres of line segments, bisecting shapes, centring elements, and as a step in geometry and graphics problems.
Does it accept decimals and negatives?
Yes, any real coordinates work, and the result can be fractional even when the inputs are whole numbers.
