WebGL Inspector is an advanced debugging toolkit for WebGL applications, inspired by tools like gDEBugger and PIX. It can be embedded in an app with a single script tag or used as a browser extension, capturing and stepping through entire frames of GL activity.

Use cases

• debug webgl rendering issues in the browser
• capture and step through webgl frames call by call
• inspect webgl textures buffers and shader programs
• find redundant webgl api calls hurting performance
• see which draw calls contributed to a pixel
• profile and tune webgl application performance

When to choose

• you are developing or debugging a WebGL application and need frame-level introspection
• you want pixel history and GL state inspection without modifying your host page
• you need a Firebug-style developer tool for WebGL

When to avoid

• you are debugging WebGL2 or WebGPU features beyond this tool's original WebGL 1 scope
• you need actively maintained tooling - the project sees only occasional releases
• you need GPU-side profiling rather than API call-level debugging
