The zlib.dll module is responsible for the compressing and decompressing functionality of the files in Windows applications. This module is a part of the ZLIB compression library which specializes in the use of the zip algorithm. This is a free software. As a compression tool, the zlib.dll file makes use of its capability by compressing algorithm like that of Zip and gzip formats. Called the ‘deflate’ method, this orginated from the PKWARE’s PKZIP. This file zlib.dll is portable across platforms which is different compared to other compression formats. Data or file sizes are not expanded by this program. Input data are not reliant on the memory footprint of the zlib.dll file and can be shrunk if necessary. Specifically, the zlib.dll file inflates files so that they are compressed about 20% faster compared to the other compression methods. It has the ability to encode and decode gzip streams upon inflation or deflation although this is optional. This file has an optimal data security.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. zlib.dll. is used by ZLIB Library, If you shut down zlib.dll, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop zlib.dll, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is ZLIB Library, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.

The ReviverSoft experts have not yet reviewed zlib.dll

A process usually a part of an installed application such as ZLIB Library, or your operating system that is responsible for running in functions of that application. Some application require that they have processes running all the time so they can do things such as check for updates or notify you when you get an instant message. Some poorly written applications have many processes that run that may not be required and take up valuable processing power within your computer.

We have not received any complaint about this process having higher than normal impact on PC performance. If you have had bad experiences with it please let us know in a comment below and we will investigate it further.

The first thing you should do if zlib.dll. is causing errors on your computer is to run a Windows registry scan with Registry Reviver If you are still seeing errors after this you should uninstall the program that zlib.dll, belongs to, in this case ZLIB Library
