[Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/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](https://redis.io/docs/latest/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](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/tools/insight) on your computer and [open Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/connect#ri-app) from the database page.

To open your database with Redis Insight on Redis Cloud, select **Open with Redis Insight** on the [database screen](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/view-edit-database).

![Open with Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rc/rc-ri-open.png)

Redis Insight will open in a new tab. 

This browser-based version of Redis Insight has a subset of the features of Redis Insight. For other Redis Insight features, [install Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/tools/insight) on your computer and [open Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/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](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/data-types/json)
- Filter keys by key name or pattern, and by key type
- Group keys according to their namespaces

- 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)

- Search by key values using your [search indexes](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/ai/search-and-query)
