Google Images Tools Enhanced (GITE)
This userscript enhances the "Tools" filter bar in Google Images search by adding more specific and customizable filtering options.
⭐ Key Enhancements Over Native Google Tools:
GITE modifies existing Google Images filters and introduces new ones:
- Size Filter Perfected:
- Beyond "Large," "Medium," and "Icon," GITE adds numerous "Larger than..." options based on both pixel dimensions (e.g., >400x300, >1024x768) and megapixels (e.g., >2MP, >10MP, >40MP).
- Enhanced two-column layout for better visibility of all size options.
- Color Filter Upgraded:
- Adds a "Full Color" option alongside native choices (Any color, Black & White, Transparent, and 12-color palette).
- Type Filter Expanded:
- Includes "Face" and "Photo" in addition to native "Clip art," "Line drawing," and "GIF."
- Time Filter More Granular:
- Offers more specific timeframes like "Past hour," "Past 3 days," "Past 3/6/9 months," supplementing Google's default ranges.
- Features a modern, user-friendly date picker for "Custom range."
