Convert layered PSD artwork into Windows CUR icons quickly while keeping critical visual fidelity for professional workflows.
Fast Raster Export
Transforms PSD pixels to CUR bitmaps rapidly with optimized in-browser processing for immediate preview and download.
Pixel-Accurate Scaling
Preserves rendered raster output fidelity at target icon sizes using sharpening and resampling tuned for UI clarity.
Batch Icon Generation
Process multiple PSD files into CUR sets at once, conserving time when exporting dozens of application icons.
Windows Icon Compatibility
Produces CUR files with standard cursor sizes and hotspot metadata compatible with Windows cursor consumers.
Custom Size Presets
Select common cursor resolutions (32x32, 48x48, 64x64) and scale methods to match target operating system expectations.
Client-Side Processing
All conversion happens in the browser memory, reducing upload exposure and preserving confidential UI assets locally.

Prepare PSD Layers for Cursor Export
- Flatten or rasterize smart objects that rely on nonstandard blend modes to guarantee consistent CUR pixels
- Convert text layers to shapes or raster at target size to avoid glyph aliasing on small cursors
- Merge subtle layer effects into dedicated layers to control final edge antialiasing during downscaling
- Remove hidden adjustment layers that alter color at export time to avoid unexpected tonal shifts
- Resize PSD to a larger multiple of target CUR sizes and downscale with bicubic sharper for crisp icon edges
Target CUR Encoding & Hotspot
- Choose 32-bit CUR output when PSD contains semi-transparent pixels to maintain alpha blending in Windows
- Include multiple bitmap sizes in one CUR to provide DPI-aware icons without separate files
- Set hotspot coordinates per size to align pointer tip with visual cursor across embedded frames
- Prefer square canvas sizes (e.g., 32x32, 48x48) to avoid cropping in Windows cursor rendering
- Keep contrast high between cursor silhouette and background to retain visibility at small sizes
Verification & Cross-Platform Checks
- Preview exported CUR in a Windows environment or emulator to confirm hotspot placement and alpha edges
- Open the CUR in icon editors to inspect embedded frames and confirm expected bitmap counts
- Compare PSD rendered export PNG at target sizes to the CUR result to spot color or transparency shifts
- Test cursor files in the actual application context to confirm expected pointer behavior and visibility
- Verify that anti-aliasing around thin strokes matches UI guidelines after conversion
Workflow Constraints and Performance
- Process PSD batches in groups of 20–50 to balance memory use and maintain browser responsiveness
- Avoid extremely large PSD artboards; downscale before conversion to reduce processing time and artifacts
- Archive original PSDs locally since CUR does not preserve editable layers, masks, or adjustment metadata
- Close other heavy tabs and apps during conversion to free CPU and GPU resources for raster rendering
- When in doubt, export intermediary PNGs from PSD at exact CUR sizes to validate appearance before CUR build
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.
