About Us

EdiToolkit began in a design studio's Slack channel, buried under the same three questions asked every week: what's the exact hex of that colour, does this grey pass contrast, and did anyone strip the GPS data off the client's photos before we pushed them live? The answers lived in a scatter of half-trusted browser extensions and desktop apps, each one wanting an account or an upload. We wanted a single, honest place where a colour decision could be made, checked and cleaned without any of that friction — so we built it.

The site you're reading is deliberately narrow. We don't try to be every utility on the internet; we focus on the corner where colour science, palette work and image accessibility meet the daily reality of shipping interfaces. That means an eyedropper precise enough to trust, palette extraction ranked by how much of a frame a colour truly owns, WCAG contrast maths you can see update as you type, a colour-blindness preview that catches what hue-only design hides, and metadata tools that treat privacy as a default rather than an afterthought. Everything runs in your browser, because artwork under embargo shouldn't have to travel to a stranger's server to be measured.

I look after the tools and writing here. I spent years as a front-end lead arguing with print vendors about CMYK drift and with product managers about whether a fashionable low-contrast grey was worth the accessibility complaint queue — so the opinions baked into these tools are earned, not borrowed. The guides on our blog come from the same place: real pre-publish checklists, real reasons newsrooms scrub metadata, real distinctions between the pickers and extractors people confuse.

If a tool gives you a result you don't trust, a contrast edge case behaves oddly, or you wish something existed that doesn't yet, I genuinely want to hear it — that feedback is how this stays sharp.
