📁 Supported Formats

Works with any valid SQLite 3 database file:

.db.sqlite.sqlite3.db3

What Is the SQLite Browser?

The SQLite Browser is a free, privacy-first online tool that lets you open, inspect, and query SQLite database files directly in your web browser — no software installation, no account, and no server uploads required. Your .db or .sqlite file is processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (sql.js), so the data never leaves your machine.

SQLite is the world's most widely deployed database engine, used by mobile apps, embedded systems, browsers, and countless desktop applications. Whether you're a developer debugging an application database, a data analyst exploring an exported dataset, or a student learning SQL, this online SQLite viewer gives you instant access to your data without installing DB Browser, SQLiteStudio, or any native tool.

Supports all standard SQLite 3 file formats: .db, .sqlite, .sqlite3, and .db3.

How to Open and Explore a SQLite Database Online

  1. 1

    Upload your SQLite file

    Drag and drop a .db, .sqlite, .sqlite3, or .db3 file onto the upload area, or click it to open a file picker.

  2. 2

    Browse tables

    Once loaded, the sidebar lists all tables in the database. Click any table to view its rows in a paginated data grid (50 rows per page).

  3. 3

    Inspect the schema

    Switch to the Schema tab to see column names, data types, NOT NULL constraints, default values, and primary key flags.

  4. 4

    Run custom SQL queries

    Open the SQL Query Runner from the sidebar, type any SELECT statement, and press Ctrl+Enter or click Run Query to execute it.

  5. 5

    Export results

    Download query results or table data as CSV or JSON with one click for use in spreadsheets, scripts, or other tools.

Common Use Cases

Debugging Mobile App Databases

Android and iOS apps often use SQLite for local storage. Export the .db file from an emulator or device backup and inspect it without a native IDE.

Exploring Browser Data

Chrome, Firefox, and Safari store browsing history, bookmarks, and cookies in SQLite files. Open them to analyze your own browser data without specialized tools.

Validating Data Exports

Confirm that a SQLite export from your application has the correct row counts, column structure, and data integrity before shipping it to a client or colleague.

Learning SQL

Practice writing SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, and WHERE clauses against a real database file directly in your browser — no local environment setup needed.

Auditing Application Data

Quickly audit configuration databases, desktop app data stores, or embedded device databases without installing a GUI client on your machine.

Converting Data to CSV / JSON

Use the SQL Query Runner to filter or transform rows, then export the results as CSV or JSON for further processing in Python, Excel, or any data pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my SQLite file uploaded to a server?

No. Your database file never leaves your browser. All processing is done locally using sql.js, a WebAssembly port of SQLite. No data is transmitted over the network.

What file formats does the SQLite Browser support?

Any valid SQLite 3 database file — regardless of extension — is supported. Common extensions include .db, .sqlite, .sqlite3, and .db3. SQLite 1 and 2 formats are not supported.

Can I run INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries?

You can run any SQL statement in the Query Runner. However, since the database is loaded in memory, write operations do not persist back to your original file — the file on your disk is never modified.

How large a SQLite file can I open?

Files up to around 50 MB work well in most modern browsers. Larger files may cause slowdowns or run out of browser memory, since the entire database is loaded into RAM as a WebAssembly buffer. For very large databases, consider a native tool like DB Browser for SQLite.

Can I open encrypted or password-protected SQLite databases?

No. The tool uses standard sql.js, which does not support SQLite encryption extensions (SQLCipher, SEE). Encrypted databases will fail to open with a parse error.

How do I get a SQLite file from my Android app?

On a rooted device or an Android emulator, you can pull the database using ADB: adb shell "run-as com.yourapp cp /data/data/com.yourapp/databases/app.db /sdcard/" followed by adb pull /sdcard/app.db.

What SQL dialect does the Query Runner support?

The Query Runner uses sql.js, which bundles a full SQLite 3 engine. All standard SQLite SQL syntax is supported, including CTEs (WITH), window functions, JSON functions, and full-text search.

Can I export an entire table to CSV without writing a query?

Yes. Select a table from the sidebar and click the CSV or JSON button in the data view header to download the current page of rows. For all rows, use the Query Runner with SELECT * FROM table_name and then export.
