Questions & answers

Short answers to the 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is d3dcompiler_47.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in d3dcompiler_47.dll. None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. It has a valid digital signature from Microsoft Corporation. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is d3dcompiler_47.dll?
d3dcompiler_47.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 4.3 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jul 7, 2018.
How many antivirus engines detected d3dcompiler_47.dll?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag d3dcompiler_47.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
Is d3dcompiler_47.dll digitally signed?
Yes. d3dcompiler_47.dll has a valid digital signature from Microsoft Corporation, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of d3dcompiler_47.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of d3dcompiler_47.dll is 3d93ae44f8feeeede4f6773c06edbd97fa67ac0db008893cc62ccafa6cc8161b, and its MD5 is 3609abbd2d61fc1d95b825f4836c612d. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use d3dcompiler_47.dll?
We found nothing harmful in d3dcompiler_47.dll, and its digital signature checks out. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of d3dcompiler_47.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 7, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan.
