[Redis Insight]({{< relref "/develop/tools/insight" >}}) is a free Redis GUI that lets you visualize your Redis data and learn more about Redis.

You can either [install Redis Insight]({{< relref "/develop/tools/insight" >}}) on your computer, or you can open your database in Redis Insight directly on Redis Cloud.

{{< note >}} Opening your database with Redis Insight in your browser is only available for Essentials databases. For all other databases, [install Redis Insight]({{< relref "/develop/tools/insight" >}}) on your computer and [open Redis Insight]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/connect#ri-app" >}}) from the database page. {{< /note >}}

To open your database with Redis Insight on Redis Cloud, select Open with Redis Insight on the [database screen]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/view-edit-database" >}}).

This browser-based version of Redis Insight has a subset of the features of Redis Insight. For other Redis Insight features, [install Redis Insight]({{< relref "/develop/tools/insight" >}}) on your computer and [open Redis Insight]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/connect#ri-app" >}}) from the database page.

Browse

The Browse tab lets you browse, filter, and visualize your Redis data structures.

  • Create, read, update, and delete lists, hashes, strings, sets, sorted sets, streams, and [JSON]({{< relref "/develop/data-types/json/" >}})
  • Filter keys by key name or pattern, and by key type
  • Group keys according to their namespaces {{<image filename="images/rc/rc-ri-browser-group.png" alt="Keys in a database grouped by namespace." width=50% >}}
  • View, validate, and manage your key values in a human-readable format using formatters that prettify and highlight data in different formats (for example, Unicode, JSON, MessagePack, HEX, and ASCII) {{<image filename="images/rc/rc-ri-browser-view.png" alt="Human-readable view of a hash key." width=50% >}}
  • Search by key values using your [search indexes]({{< relref "/develop/ai/search-and-query" >}}) {{<image filename="images/rc/rc-ri-browser-search.png" alt="Search for keys using a search index." width=50% >}}

If you don't have any Redis data yet, you can select Load sample data to add sample data into your database.
