Finally. An all-in-one forensic SQLite platform that reveals the full story inside app data.
A faster, clearer way to understand mobile app data
SQLiteVisualizer unifies visual exploration, decoding, SQL analysis, and deleted-data recovery into one seamless workflow. No exports, no tool switching, no lost context.
Built from real casework and years of forensic training, the platform lets you see database history, trace deleted records, and reveal hidden patterns with exceptional clarity and precision. The result: quicker insights, stronger accuracy, and defensible evidence when every detail matters.
Comprehensive Capabilities for SQLite Examiners
Visual-First Understanding of App Data
The core of the platform is a visual canvas that displays every table, every relationship, every record count, and any custom views as virtual table cards. This delivers an immediate, clear understanding of how an application structures its data, helping examiners grasp the database at a glance.
Complete Built-In Decoding Environment
SQLiteVisualizer includes integrated decoding for plists, protobufs, Base64, GZIP, JSON stitching, Markdown, GPS data, and timestamp formats, everything interpreted directly inside the platform with no exporting or external tools required.
Advanced Deleted Data Recovery
SQLiteVisualizer provides a complete set of examiner-focused recovery tools that expose deleted, historical, and overwritten content across all SQLite storage layers. It recovers data from WAL frames with timeline views, extracts remnants from freelist pages, carves fragmented records from freeblocks, analyzes rollback-journal history, and reconstructs records with full forensic metadata for validation.
SQLite-Specific Hex Analysis
SQLiteVisualizer includes a dedicated Hex Analysis Engine built specifically for SQLite forensics, offering automatic decoding of database structures, smart context-aware templates, smooth navigation across pages and frames, fast value and timestamp interpretation, and support for reconstructing fragmented records.
Integrated SQL Querying + Visual JOIN Builder
SQLiteVisualizer streamlines SQL work with visual, intuitive tools, letting you build queries directly from the canvas, create context-aware JOINs with a single click, save results as reusable virtual tables, and keep everything organized in a structured, searchable query library.
Professional Reporting Environment
SQLiteVisualizer generates clear, defensible reports for any case, with flexible evidence and table summaries, interactive HTML output, automatic inclusion of case metadata and hash information, secure ZIP packaging options, and fully customizable report sections to match your agency’s requirements.
Built-In Forensic Safeguards & Smart Assistance in Any Language
Case Management & Forensic Integrity
SQLiteVisualizer includes a full case-management workflow designed for forensic defensibility. It works in read-only mode, creates protected evidence copies, verifies hashes across multiple algorithms, and captures case metadata and custom fields. Your analysis state and history are preserved across sessions, ensuring every step of your work remains transparent, reliable, and fully repeatable.
Built-In Forensic Chatbot. In Any Language.
SQLiteVisualizer includes a built-in forensic chatbot that you can use in any language, making guidance and SQL assistance accessible to every examiner. It helps you write complex queries, explains SQLite structures like WAL and freelists in simple terms, and supports your workflow without ever accessing evidence data, only the schema. A faster, clearer way to get help right inside the tool.
Used every day by investigators worldwide
What SQLite Visualizer empowers you to do
• Understand app data instantly.
Gain immediate insight into how an application structures, links, and organizes its information the moment the database loads.
• See every table, relationship, and record count at once.
Giving you immediate clarity on how the app stores, links, and evolves its data.
• Recover more evidence than traditional tools reveal.
Extract deleted, historical, and fragmented records across WAL, freelist, journals, and freeblocks with full forensic context.
• Decode everything in one place.
Analyze complex formats without exporting files, switching tools, or losing your investigative flow.
• Automatically interpret complex data formats.
Automatically interpret plists, protobufs, Base64, GZIP, JSON stitching, timestamps, and GPS data. Everything is decoded, visualized, and contextualized inside one unified forensic workspace.
• Validate findings with confidence.
Back every conclusion with transparent evidence sources, structured metadata, and documented origin for each recovered record.
• Hex views, source metadata, and documented recovery details.
Hex views, source metadata, and documented recovery details for each record ensure conclusions that hold up in reports and testimony.
• Work in a single streamlined workflow.
Move from visual exploration to SQL, joins, custom views, and reporting without exporting data or switching between external tools.
• Produce clear, defensible reports.
Generate structured reports with filters, transformations, metadata, hashes, images, maps, and interactive elements. All guided and case-ready.
FAQ
Again and again, the same questions came up:
- "What was deleted — and when?"
- "Where is this record from — the WAL, the freelist, or the live DB?"
- "How do I explain this structure clearly in a report?"
So we created ED SQLite Visualizer. A tool shaped by real casework, refined in hands-on labs, and built to make forensic analysis faster, clearer, and easier to explain — even when time is short.
It combines several advanced capabilities into one streamlined suite:
- WAL Timeline Viewer – Watch the history of a database unfold frame by frame. See when records were written, modified, or deleted.
- Smart Canvas Navigation – Visualize the full schema as an interactive map. Explore tables, connections, and key structures at a glance — even in 100+ table databases.
- Integrated Hex & Structure View – Understand pages, freelists, overflow chains, and low-level internals without losing context.
- One-Click Recovery – Extract deleted content from WAL files, freelists, and unallocated space with forensic precision.
- Built-in Evidence Tools – Work on protected copies, generate reports, and preserve data integrity through built-in hash verification.
That said, advanced users will find they can still work with byte-level detail if needed.

I didn’t expect a SQLite tool to make this big a difference, but honestly, it’s shaved hours off my cases. The moment I open a database, I actually understand what I’m looking at. And the deleted data it uncovered… we would never have found that with our old workflow! It’s just made my job easier, plain and simple.
