Binary Inspector
Inspect pasted hex or Base64 bytes, magic numbers, endian clues, file signatures, encoding mistakes, and binary payload notes.
4 signals detected. Start with png magic bytes.
PNG magic bytes
PNG file signature is present.
Check whether the parser expects image bytes, metadata, or a different transport encoding.
ZIP magic bytes
ZIP-like archive signature is present.
Confirm whether this is a ZIP/JAR/APK/DOCX-style container.
Encoded JSON clue
The binary payload may contain JSON or Base64-encoded JSON.
Decode safely and validate character encoding before parsing.
Invalid magic number
The file or protocol header does not match expectations.
Compare the first bytes with the expected format and confirm endian assumptions.

Binary Inspector
Binary Inspector is a focused DebugTools mini-product for developers. Inspect pasted hex or Base64 bytes, magic numbers, endian clues, file signatures, encoding mistakes, and binary payload notes.
Use cases
- Turn pasted failures into a cleaner root-cause checklist.
- Separate the first error from retries, noise, and downstream symptoms.
- Prepare a concise report for an issue, pull request, or incident note.
How it works
- Paste or load the snippet you want to inspect in Binary Inspector.
- Run the tool in the browser and review the highlighted output.
- Copy, export, or turn the result into the next debugging step.
Privacy
- Binary Inspector is local-first. The core workflow runs in your browser and does not require sending pasted content to DebugTools servers.
