Photos carry more than pixels. EXIF can include GPS, camera model, timestamps, and software. Sometimes you want that (a catalogue, a print size). Sometimes you don't (a screenshot you're about to post, a photo for a form). This category is inspect and strip, plus a few analysis tools that help you edit elsewhere.
Image info shows dimensions, format, and embedded metadata. EXIF stripper writes a copy without the metadata. Histogram, palette, and the eyedropper are for looking, not for changing the file, except that you might download a palette as notes.
Stripping EXIF isn't anonymity. The pixels can still identify a place or a person. It just stops the file from also handing over coordinates in the header.
Image info & EXIF dumps what the file will admit: pixel size, byte size, format, and tags. Use it before you post a phone photo if you're not sure whether GPS is still in there. Use it after the stripper to confirm the tags are gone.
EXIF stripper writes a new file without the metadata block. One click, one download. For a folder, batch EXIF strip exists. It doesn't blur faces and it doesn't scrub the picture itself.
Histogram plots red, green, and blue. If the graph is piled on the left, the shot is dark; piled on the right, it's bright; a spike at either end means clipping. Pair it with Levels in the colour category.
Color palette picks dominant colours and shows hex. Moodboards, matching a brand colour that's “already in the photo,” checking whether a UI screenshot is actually using the hex you think it's.
Color picker (eyedropper) samples a pixel and reports hex, RGB, and HSL. It samples the decoded image, which is what you see. It isn't a hardware calibrator.
Common questions
If I strip EXIF, is the photo itself anonymous?
+
No. Stripping removes headers like GPS and camera tags. The pixels remain. A room, a face, a street sign, still there. Strip EXIF anyway before you post a phone photo; then look at the picture.
Why look at a histogram instead of the photo?
+
Because a display can hide clipping with a bright screen or a dim one. The histogram is the tally of values. If you're about to print or grade, it saves you discovering a blown sky after the fact.
Is the eyedropper sampling the file or the screen?
+
The decoded pixels of the file, drawn in the page. Colour-managed displays can still make two hexes look different across machines. For brand work, treat the hex as the source of truth, not the vibe of your monitor.
Why these tools don't upload your files
There is no server to upload to. Each page is a static file, and the work happens in your browser. Your file is read from disk into memory, processed, and handed back as a download. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the network and it keeps working. The longer explanation
