About XCI
An .xci is a Switch game card copied into a file, as dumping tools write it and emulators read it.
Its header, HEAD at 0x100, gives the card's size and how much of it is used, then a file system of partitions: update, with the system update the card carries, normal, secure, with the game itself, and sometimes logo. Each holds NCA parts, encrypted.
Filepeek reads the header into a page with the card's size, what it uses and whether the file was trimmed to it, and lists each partition like a folder of its NCA parts. Nothing is decrypted, since Filepeek carries no console keys.

Questions
How do I see what's in an XCI file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an XCI. Its partitions are listed like folders of their parts, with a page beside them on the card.
What's a trimmed XCI?
One cut to the data the card uses, leaving out the empty space after it. Filepeek says when a file is trimmed.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
