Open and inspect a SQLite file without uploading it

What is a SQLite file?

SQLite stores a complete relational database in a single file. Files with extensions such as .sqlite, .sqlite3, .db or .db3 therefore appear in desktop software, mobile apps, local tools, tests and smaller applications. Inspecting their contents does not always require installing a database client or sending the file to an external service.

Why inspect it locally in the browser?

Privacy matters when working with database files. The Codegenie SQLite Viewer reads the selected file directly in the browser. The database file itself is not uploaded to Codegenie and the viewer is read-only. This makes it useful for quickly checking tables, values or query results without installing a local SQLite interface first.

• The selected database file stays in the browser.
• The viewer does not modify the source and does not allow write queries.
• You can open tables and views, search, filter and sort.
• Read-only SQL queries can be executed directly in the browser.
• Results can be exported locally as JSON or CSV.

What can the Codegenie SQLite Viewer do?

After opening a supported file, the viewer lists the available tables and views. The data view supports global search, column filters, sorting and pagination. The SQL view is limited to read-only queries and blocks mutations. Export uses the active data or SQL result and downloads the generated file locally in the browser.

How to open a SQLite file

• Open the SQLite Viewer on Codegenie.
• Choose a .sqlite, .sqlite3, .db or .db3 file up to 10 MiB.
• Select a table or view on the left and use search or column filters to find the rows you need.
• Use SQL when you need a specific read-only SELECT.
• Choose Export to save the visible or selected result locally.

What happens to your file?

The browser reads the database locally and uses the SQLite engine in the page to interpret it. The viewer is designed without database upload, persistent browser storage or server-side processing of the selected file. The source bytes remain unchanged and the interface works on a read-only session.

Important limits

• The public viewer currently accepts files up to 10 MiB.
• The tool is intended for inspection and export, not database editing.
• A separate WAL file is not imported. Recent transactions that have not yet been checkpointed into the main file may therefore be missing.
• Very large databases, heavy analysis, SQLite extensions or write operations are better handled by a local desktop client or the SQLite CLI.
• For a corrupted or unexpected database, also verify the original application and backups.

When should you use a desktop tool instead?

A local browser viewer is convenient for quick inspection. If you need schema changes, data editing, extensions, large files or long-running queries, a full SQLite client or the official command-line interface is a better fit. The browser viewer is deliberately bounded to keep inspection simple and safe.

Inspect a SQLite file now

If you only need to check which tables, records or query results are present, you can open the viewer directly. No account is required and the database file is not uploaded.
