🛠️ Google Images Tools Enhanced (GITE)

Google Images Tools Enhanced (GITE) adds a custom toolbar resembling the classic Google Images interface. It provides expanded filtering options and a powerful settings panel for customization, offering features that are often hidden or entirely unavailable in the modern layout.

🌟 Main Features

GITE introduces a unified toolbar above the search results containing standard and advanced filters:

Toolbar Features

Expanded Filters:

  • 📐 Exact Size:
    • Integrated Input: Manually input specific Width and Height dimensions directly within the dropdown menu (no pop-ups required).
    • Custom Presets: Save frequently used resolutions in the settings for quick access.
  • ⏳ Time:
    • Select from a wider range of time intervals not available in the default UI (e.g., Past 15/30 min, Past 2 days, Past 6 months).
    • Native Date Picker: Includes an embedded, browser-native date picker for selecting custom date ranges seamlessly.
  • 📑 Site Search:
    • Filter results to specific domains.
    • Customizable: Define custom presets in the settings.
    • Advanced Logic: Supports Domain Groups using Boolean OR logic (e.g., entering twitter.com OR x.com searches both sites simultaneously).
    • Visual Indicators: Automatically fetches and displays favicons for saved sites.
  • 📏 Size: Filter by pixel thresholds (e.g., >1024x768, >1080p) or megapixels (e.g., >4MP, >20MP).
  • 🎨 Color: Filter by Full Color, Black & White, Transparent, or choose from a predefined 12-color palette (matches Google's specific color search parameters).
  • 🌍 Region: Filter search results by specific countries. The list of countries can be managed in the settings (includes flag emojis/icons).
  • 📄 File Type: Filter by JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, WEBP, AVIF, RAW, and ICO.
  • 🎭 Type: Includes Face, Photo, Clip Art, Line Drawing, and GIF.
  • 🖼️ Aspect Ratio: Tall, Square, Wide, and Panoramic.
  • 📁 Presets & Search Snapshots:
    • Filter Presets: Package and save your current active filters (e.g., size, region, date range) to reapply them to any query with a single click. The save dialog lets you click preview chips to customize which filters to include.
    • Search Snapshots: Optionally include the base search query. When applied, this snapshot replaces your active query—ideal for saving specific search results.
    • Visual Distinctions:
      • Filter Presets: Marked with a Filter icon (⏳); preserves your active query when applied.
      • Search Snapshots: Marked with a Camera icon (📷); overwrites the query. Hovering displays the exact saved query in the tooltip.

⚙️ Settings Panel

Click to expand Settings Panel
Settings Panel

Click the gear icon (⚙️) on the right side of the toolbar to access settings:

  • General: Switch languages (EN/ZH-TW/JA/DE/ES/FR/IT/RU), adjust theme (Light/Dark/Auto), and change toolbar layout, font size, or line height. Additional controls include hiding suggestion chips, removing thumbnail corner radius (reverting to square thumbnails), hiding the related searches section, and hiding thumbnail metadata (links/text).
  • Filter Management: Enable or disable specific filter categories or toggle individual options to clean up your menu.
  • Presets Management: View, rename, or delete your saved custom presets in the dedicated "Presets" tab.
  • Custom Data: Add, edit, or remove custom entries for "Exact Size" and "Site Search".
💡 Advanced Tip: Instant Element Hiding & Styling via uBlock Origin

Due to Userscript execution limitations, built-in styling options may cause minor flickering during page load.

For a zero-delay, instant experience, we recommend using uBlock Origin (uBO) with the following custom cosmetic filters:

  1. Open the uBlock Origin dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the "My filters" tab.
  3. Paste the rules you wish to apply:
! Hide suggestion chips under the search bar
google.com##.rfiSsc

! Remove search result thumbnail corner radius (restore to square)
google.com##.F0uyec:style(border-radius: 0 !important;)
google.com##.cC9Rib:style(border-radius: 0 !important;)
google.com##.sid-dims:style(border-radius: 0 !important;)

! Hide the "Related searches" block at the bottom
google.com##.BA0zte

! Hide detailed information under thumbnails (links, titles, etc.)
google.com##.juwGPd.BwPElf.OCzgxd
  1. Click "Apply changes".

Note: Once these rules are set up in uBO, you can turn off the corresponding options in the GITE settings panel to avoid redundant style processing and optimize performance.

🔗 Recommended Companion Scripts:

GITE focuses exclusively on adding the Toolbar. To enhance the Image Thumbnails (e.g., showing dimensions on the grid or adding direct links), you can safely pair GITE with the companion scripts below. Note: Please be aware that some of these scripts may have overlapping or conflicting features. To prevent visual clutter or bugs, avoid installing multiple scripts that add the exact same functionality (like a "View Image" button).

📌 Notes:

  • Compatibility: Works on Google Images search results (udm=2). Note that the legacy tbm=isch parameter is deprecated and typically redirects to udm=2.
  • Feedback: If you encounter functional issues or logical errors, please leave feedback on the script page.
