Pathfinder
Quickly analyze vast datasets, uncover critical leads and accelerate investigations and intelligence.
Cellebrite Pathfinder is the AI-powered multi-device analytics platform that consolidates evidence from 30+ digital sources and surfaces what matters most – so you can uncover critical leads faster.
Why Pathfinder?
The average investigation involves more than 60,000 messages, 32,000 images and hours of video – per device. When a case spans multiple suspects and devices, agencies can spend up to 69 hours per case just reviewing data. And when they’re done, there is a static report instead of the full, navigable evidence picture needed to build a compelling case.
Pathfinder consolidates all digital evidence – from mobile extractions, cloud data, call detail records, emails, and media — into a single, easy to review investigation environment, with direct access to the evidence that matters.

Common Questions About Pathfinder
Cellebrite Pathfinder is an AI-powered investigative analytics platform that consolidates digital evidence from 30+ data sources — including mobile devices, cloud extractions, call detail records, and email — into a single unified investigation environment. It enables law enforcement investigators to uncover suspect connections faster and gives prosecutors direct visibility into the full evidence picture, so both can build stronger, more defensible case narratives.
Pathfinder uses AI-driven analysis to automatically process and categorize data across multiple devices and sources simultaneously. Instead of manually reviewing tens of thousands of messages, images, and records, investigators use Pathfinder’s Timeline View, Link Analysis, and AI-powered Media Analysis to surface the most relevant evidence immediately — reducing data analysis time by up to 15x and image review time by up to 12x.
Yes. Pathfinder is built for every member of the case team, not just investigators. Prosecutors and district attorneys can access the same unified evidence environment to understand the full scope of a case, trace suspect timelines, and build stronger court narratives — without relying solely on a static investigation report. This direct access to the evidence story is a key differentiator for prosecution teams.
Pathfinder ingests data from 30+ digital sources, including mobile device extractions (messages, images, videos, app data, geolocation, call logs, social media, and web history), cloud data extractions, email files, media files, and cell data records (CDRs). This multi-source consolidation allows Pathfinder to surface connections across data types that would otherwise be missed in siloed, manual review.
Pathfinder offers flexible deployment options to meet agency security and compliance requirements. It can be deployed on-premise — as a virtual machine or physical server — or in the cloud via AWS VPC. Both options are designed to support strict data privacy, chain-of-custody, and evidentiary integrity requirements.
Pathfinder’s Cross-Case Analysis capability allows investigators to query evidence across multiple cases simultaneously. This is particularly powerful for identifying shared suspects, linked criminal networks, and repeated behavioral patterns — helping connect cases that might otherwise be investigated in isolation. It’s especially valuable for specialized task forces handling organized crime, trafficking, or serial offenses.
