What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Convert camera-native ARW RAW files into legacy CUR cursor icons for archival and compatibility with older Windows GUIs.

Preserve Visual Fidelity

High-fidelity raster rendering preserves the original ARW exposure and color as a static bitmap for CUR generation.

Fast Local Processing

Client-side conversion decodes and downsamples ARW images quickly without server upload for privacy and speed.

Direct ARW to CUR Route

Single-step workflow rasterizes RAW frames into CUR bitmaps sized and masked for Windows cursor use.

Legacy Cursor Compatibility

Outputs .cur files compatible with Windows cursor APIs, including hotspot coordinates and ICO-like structure.

Adjustable Output Sizes

Choose standard cursor dimensions and scale algorithms to control sharpness and aliasing in the CUR bitmap.

Local File Privacy

All decoding and CUR assembly occur in-browser memory; files are not uploaded by default.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW Renders for Small Bitmaps

Crop ARW to the target cursor focal point to reduce resampling artifacts
Render ARW at the exact cursor size (e.g., 32x32) to control sharpening and aliasing
Apply local contrast sparingly in the RAW processor to avoid posterization when downsampling
Set white balance in ARW before conversion so color mapping into CUR remains consistent
Remove sensor hot pixels or heavy noise using RAW denoise tools prior to exporting

Manage CUR Encoding and Size

Choose PNG-encoded CUR entries for smoother alpha and smaller files on modern Windows
Select BMP-encoded CUR when targeting very old Windows builds that lack PNG-in-CUR support
Limit color palette reduction to preserve recognizability at small cursor sizes
Export multiple sizes (32, 48, 64) from the same ARW render to provide OS scaling fallbacks
Zip batch CUR outputs to reduce transfer size when distributing cursor packs

Validate Visuals Across Targets

Preview CUR on a target OS to confirm hotspot placement and ANSI vs alpha rendering differences
Check cursor edge rendering under both light and dark desktop themes to spot contrast issues
Inspect the bitmap at 100% to catch banding introduced by 8-bit conversion
Test anti-aliased masks on high-DPI displays to confirm smoothness and scaling behavior
Compare rendered CUR against the ARW source at target size to ensure legibility

Metadata, Privacy, and Workflow

Do not assume EXIF or ICC data will transfer into CUR; export color-corrected bitmaps instead
Process sensitive ARW files locally to keep proprietary camera data on-device
Batch in groups of 20–50 ARW files to avoid high memory use in the browser
Save original ARW archives separately for future high-fidelity edits or repro files
Document hotspot coordinates and naming schemes when producing cursor libraries

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
