Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected a threat in this established PNG, and available external intelligence provides no evidence linking the file to malware.

All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The PNG has also circulated for 723 days without a threat-intelligence match, although no completed runtime observation was available.

Analyst conclusion

All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 tier-1 engines. The PNG has also circulated for 723 days without a threat-intelligence match, although no completed runtime observation was available.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • behaviour=null, so there is no completed runtime observation to confirm how applications process the image.
  • contactedHosts=null, meaning no complete host-reputation result is available; however, no runtime network contacts were supplied for review.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

  1. Recovery step 01

    View it only when its sender or download source is one you trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

6 evidence-based answers
Is 1.png safe?
Evidence-based answer
1.png appears safe. 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it. View it only when its sender or download source is one you trust.
What is 1.png?
Evidence-based answer
1.png is a media file, about 5.2 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected 1.png?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged 1.png. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of 1.png?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of 1.png is 76e86bef4bfaf0e94122ede63dca7dacccb8f0d50af44646538d4140636da5f1, and its MD5 is 731ddae92d86dc8828ce13b9a8d3a80c. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to view 1.png?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, 1.png has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of 1.png?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 19, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of 1.png is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
