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 animated or static GIFs into Windows cursor (CUR) files with precise pixel control and fast local processing.

Fast Local Conversion

Process GIF frames in-browser for immediate CUR output without server upload, reducing latency and privacy exposure.

Pixel-Accurate Output

Preserve original pixels where possible and map GIF colors carefully to the target CUR palette for crisp cursors.

Windows Cursor Ready

Produce CUR files sized and formatted to be directly importable by Windows and many GUI toolkits that accept .cur.

Batch Processing

Convert multiple GIFs into separate CURs or ZIP archives in one session to streamline cursor asset production.

Transparency Handling

Handle GIF transparency by rasterizing frames to CUR alpha or mask formats depending on destination constraints.

Configurable Size & Hotspot

Set cursor pixel dimensions and hotspot coordinates to ensure precise pointer placement on target platforms.

Source vs Target Format

Key technical differences between formats

Feature	Source Format	Target Format
Compression	Lossless LZW indexed	Uncompressed or bitmap with optional mask
File Size	Small for indexed palettes	Larger due to expanded RGBA pixels
Quality	Palette-limited but sharp for web graphics	Lossless raster suitable for editing
Transparency	Single transparent palette index	Alpha channel or monochrome mask
Metadata	GIF comment and extension blocks	Minimal header fields; metadata not retained
Primary Use	Web animation and simple sprites	System cursors and UI pointers

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare GIF Frame

Select the exact GIF frame to export because animated sequences are not preserved in CUR
Flatten any frame compositing to produce the intended visual before conversion
Convert palette-based semi-transparency to full alpha in an editor when antialiased edges are required
Resize GIF to final cursor dimensions to avoid downscaling artifacts during conversion
Ensure hotspot placement in source planning so the cursor aligns post-conversion

Target CUR Encoding

Choose 32-bit export when CUR targets need alpha for smooth edges rather than 1-bit mask
If targeting legacy systems, export with monochrome mask to maximize compatibility
Expand GIF indexed colors to truecolor to prevent palette remapping issues in the CUR
Set hotspot coordinates explicitly to prevent default center placement surprises
Compress batch outputs into ZIP to manage larger CUR files after palette expansion

Workflow Integrations

Use resource editors (e.g., Resource Hacker) to inspect and adjust hotspot after export
Import exported CUR into your GUI framework during development to confirm runtime placement
Automate frame selection in build scripts when converting many GIF sprites into cursors
Maintain original GIFs alongside CURs to allow re-extraction of different frames if needed
Verify final CUR in the target OS theme to detect color mapping shifts

Verification & Performance

Preview converted CUR at actual cursor scale to check edge artifacts produced by transparency mapping
Process batches in groups of 20-50 files to avoid high memory pressure in the browser
Keep originals when color-critical work requires per-file ICC checks after conversion
Close memory-intensive apps while processing large GIF sets to maintain smooth performance
Download and test CUR immediately on a Windows machine to validate hotspot and rendering

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.
