.DLL File extension

A DLL file is a compiled library that contains a set of procedures and/or drivers that are referenced and executed by a Windows program. It allows multiple programs to access shared functions through common libraries. DLL files are "dynamically linked" into a program at runtime, meaning they are only loaded as needed.

Many DLL files are provided with the Windows operating system, and others are included by Windows programs. They allow various program functions, such as communication with external devices and hard disk input and output. They may also be referenced by Mac cross-platform applications. Deleting or modifying the contents of a DLL file may cause errors within the program that references the file. For this reason, DLL files generally should not be opened or edited. However, if an application tries to access a dll file that has been corrupted or is missing, that program will no longer work. In this case, installing a new version of the DLL file may be the easiest option. DLL errors in Windows? DLL-Files.com Client can fix DLL errors.
