How to use TFLite Model Structure Viewer: practical workflow and checks
Use a real example to prepare input, run TFLite Model Structure Viewer, verify output, understand privacy, and respect current boundaries.
When to use it
Inspect TFLite FlatBuffer subgraphs, operators, tensors, shapes, dtypes, and quantization parameters. Readable structure does not prove a model runs on Android, iOS, Edge TPU, or NNAPI; delegate support needs target-device testing.
Practical example
For an int8 classifier with input [1,224,224,3], inspect dtype, scale, zero point, and operator versions. Valid structure does not prove complete NNAPI delegate support.
Steps
- Choose a .tflite or .lite file.
- Inspect schema, subgraphs, inputs, outputs, and operator versions.
- Review tensor dtype, shape, buffer, scale, and zero point.
- Record custom ops and dynamic shapes for target-device validation.
Checks after completion
- Check mobile-model interfaces quickly
- Inspect quantization and operator versions
- Processing runs in this browser tab; the file is not uploaded to FreeTool to perform the task.
Do not rely on a success message alone. Sample counts, fields, dimensions, coordinates, text, or visual output against the source. Production, scientific, business, rights-sensitive, or formal deliverables require validation in the receiving system.
Current boundaries
- No inference or delegate compatibility test
- Custom ops expose names and references only
- No model accuracy, latency, or peak-memory prediction

Common questions
Can it prove NNAPI support?
No. Device, Android release, and delegate operator support must be tested.
How do I inspect quantization?
Review dtype, scale, and zero point on input, output, and weight tensors.
Is the model uploaded?
