How to use WARC Web Archive Inspector
Inventory WARC records, targets, dates, types, payload sizes, and content types without rendering captured pages.
What to provide
Drop an uncompressed WARC/1.0 or WARC/1.1 file. Record bodies remain inert.
- Choose or drag the local file into the clearly labeled drop area.
- Review the input and the clearly labeled output behavior.
- Select “Run tool” or press Ctrl/Command + Enter, then copy, download, or move the result back into the first input for another pass.
What the result means
A searchable record inventory with bounded header metadata and payload totals.
Privacy and safety
This utility is loaded as browser code and processes your input only in this tab. OmniCastConverter has no upload endpoint and never stores your content, filenames, tokens, or secrets. Generated markup and code are shown as inert text and are never executed.
Limitations
- All input and output remains in this browser tab and is never uploaded or saved. Compressed WARC.GZ should be extracted first. Payloads are not rendered, fetched, indexed, or rewritten.
