The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The combined sandbox verdict was clean, and no hostile techniques were confirmed. No public malware databases or community rules list it, and it has stayed undetected for about six years.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The library is unsigned, so no publisher identity backs it. It is also only moderately prevalent, with 17 submitters.

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

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is cimgui.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in cimgui.dll. None of the 73 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is cimgui.dll?
cimgui.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 934.4 kB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 15, 2020.
How many antivirus engines detected cimgui.dll?
None of the 73 antivirus engines that checked it flag cimgui.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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of cimgui.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of cimgui.dll is c852a60c0f26be5093a6aa3b4bc55f949af33ae69672f42d6449b7a21fe0c15d, and its MD5 is df1a602381ecb769e8c83c11c038751d. 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 cimgui.dll?
We found nothing harmful in cimgui.dll. 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 cimgui.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 24, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
