## What is pgAdmin?
|
||
|
||
[`pgAdmin`](https://www.pgadmin.org/) is a GUI tool for managing Postgres databases. You can use it to connect to your database via SSL.
|
||
|
||
## Connecting pgAdmin with your Postgres database

<StepHikeCompact.Details title="Connect">
|
||
|
||
Add the connection info. Go to your [`Database Settings`](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/database). Make sure `Use connection pooling` is enabled. Switch the connection mode to `Session` and copy your connection parameters. Fill in your Database password that you made when creating your project (It can be reset in Database Settings above if you don't have it).

<StepHikeCompact.Details title="SSL">
|
||
|
||
Download your SSL certificate from Dashboard's [`Database Settings`](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/database).
|
||
|
||
In pgAdmin, navigate to the Parameters tab and select connection parameter as Root Certificate. Next navigate to the Root certificate input, it will open up a file-picker modal. Select the certificate you downloaded earlier and save the server details. pgAdmin should now be able to connect to your Postgres via SSL.

## Why connect to pgAdmin
|
||
|
||
Connecting your Postgres instance to `pgAdmin` gives you a free, cross-platform GUI that makes tasks such as browsing objects, writing queries with autocomplete, running backups, and monitoring performance much faster and safer than using `psql` alone.
|
||
|
||
It acts as a single control panel where you can manage multiple servers, inspect locks and slow queries in real time, and perform maintenance operations with a click.
|
||
|
||
For scripted migrations or ultra-light remote work you’ll still lean on plain SQL or CLI tools, but most teams find `pgAdmin` invaluable for exploration and routine administration.
