7 New Privacy Tools: Splitters, Converters, and Palettes
We are excited to announce a massive update to Privacy Pix Tools. Alongside our new Steganography and PDF tools, we have released 7 other utilities designed for creators, developers, and privacy enthusiasts.
The New Lineup
Here is a breakdown of the new tools and how you can use them.
1. Image Splitter
What it does: Divides a single image into a grid of smaller images (e.g., 3x3, 2x2).
Use Case: Perfect for creating those aesthetic "grid layouts" on Instagram profiles where 9 separate posts make up one large image. Also useful for game developers creating sprite sheets.
2. SVG to PNG Converter
What it does: Renders vector SVG files into raster PNG images.
Use Case: You downloaded an icon but it's an SVG, and the website you want to upload it to only accepts PNG. This tool fixes that compatibility issue instantly.
3. Base64 Converter
What it does: Encodes images into text strings (Base64) or decodes those strings back into images.
Use Case: Essential for web developers who want to embed small icons or placeholders directly into their HTML/CSS code to reduce HTTP requests.
4. Retro Dither Studio
What it does: Converts images to black and white using "dithering" algorithms (like Floyd-Steinberg) to simulate greyscale.
Use Case: Creating retro 1-bit art, preparing images for e-ink displays, or just giving your photos a cool vintage computer look.
5. Noise Generator
What it does: Adds film grain or random noise to your images.
Use Case: Reducing "banding" in gradients (a common problem in digital design) or adding texture to flat illustrations to make them feel more organic.
6. Image Diff (Comparator)
What it does: Overlays or places two images side-by-side to highlight differences.
Use Case: QA testers checking for visual regressions in websites, or photographers comparing the "Before" and "After" of an edit to see subtle changes.
7. Color Palette Generator
What it does: Extracts the dominant colors from any photo.
Use Case: Designers looking for inspiration can upload a photo they like and instantly get the hex codes for the colors used in it.
Why Use These Tools?
Like everything else on Privacy Pix Tools, these run 100% on your device. Whether you are splitting a personal family photo or converting a confidential design file, the data stays with you.
