The hidden text of secret.gif
This file is the same 35-byte image as pixel.gif, with a different palette. A palette is a list of colors. It can also hold text.
The shrink lab
Change the bytes. After each change, the page loads the result as an image and shows if your browser still takes it. Type <svg to see the file that the F tier of the README lost.
Does your browser take it?
The page tests each file in your browser.
| File | Bytes | Sent as | Result | Natural size | Image | Time |

Why an SVG passes or fails
The same test on four small SVG texts. Only the namespace and the closing slash change.

Each file, byte by byte
Hover over a byte or press it. A parser in this page reads the real bytes and labels each one.
The side rooms
One file, two readings: runme.gif
These 14 bytes are a GIF and a line of shell text. This page reads the bytes. It does not run them.
A GIF reader
A shell lexer
The name that reverses
A pixel in a terminal: pixel.ansi
This file is an escape code. This page labels its bytes and draws the result. It writes nothing to a terminal.
Two empty frames
The README against the bytes
The page reads the README and compares each listed size with the real file. The museum files stay as they are.
