How do I open a .SQLite file?

Drop a .SQLite file onto Analyser at https://analyser.valjdakosta.com/ and it is identified directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Open SQLite databases (.sqlite/.db/.sqlite3) and read their full schema in-browser - every table with its columns and row counts, views, indexes, triggers, the CREATE-statement DDL, and a sample of the largest table. Reads the WAL-mode sidecars too: the Write-Ahead Log (-wal) - page size, salts, frame and committed-transaction counts, and the pages it changed - and the shared-memory index (-shm) - valid frame count, database size and checkpoint progress. (.sql dumps are listed under Developer / data.) Microsoft Access (MDB, ACCDB) now opens in a full table viewer - see Access database above. Concordance .dcb databases from the LexisNexis litigation review suite are identified from their bytes, and told apart from the other formats that reuse the same extension (compiled game data, speech-recognition dictionaries).

Can I open a .SQLite file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .SQLite identifier that runs entirely in your browser - your .SQLite file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.

What is a .SQLite file?

SQLite is a complete database stored in a single file. Used inside countless apps, phones and browsers.

Did you know: SQLite was created by D. Richard Hipp in 2000 and is the most widely deployed database in the world.
SQLite is released into the public domain, with effectively no copyright restrictions on its use.
SQLite ships inside every Android and iOS phone, every major web browser and countless desktop apps - most people carry hundreds of copies.
Analyser spots a .SQLite file by its signature bytes 53 51 4C 69 - the start of "SQLite format 3".
What Analyser reads: Open SQLite databases (.sqlite/.db/.sqlite3) and read their full schema in-browser - every table with its columns and row counts, views, indexes, triggers, the CREATE-statement DDL, and a sample of the largest table. Reads the WAL-mode sidecars too: the Write-Ahead Log (-wal) - page size, salts, frame and committed-transaction counts, and the pages it changed - and the shared-memory index (-shm) - valid frame count, database size and checkpoint progress. (.sql dumps are listed under Developer / data.) Microsoft Access (MDB, ACCDB) now opens in a full table viewer - see Access database above. Concordance .dcb databases from the LexisNexis litigation review suite are identified from their bytes, and told apart from the other formats that reuse the same extension (compiled game data, speech-recognition dictionaries).
Depth of analysis: .SQLite is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .SQLite file: Drag a .SQLite file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
