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 TGA images to Windows CUR icons quickly with predictable transparency and size control for design and development workflows

Fast Raster-to-Icon

Quickly transform high-resolution TGA rasters into CUR icons optimized for Windows UI usage and testing.

Pixel-Accurate Scaling

Maintain sharpness through intelligent resampling and preserve visible edges when downscaling TGA artwork to CUR sizes.

Windows Focused Output

Produce CUR files compatible with standard Windows icon APIs and Explorer display conventions.

Alpha & Transparency Handling

Map TGA alpha channels into CUR icon masks or alpha where supported, with fallbacks for indexed mask generation.

Flexible Size Presets

Choose common icon dimensions (16,32,48,64,128) and DPI-aware scaling to target desktop and tray icon use cases.

Local, Private Processing

Conversion occurs in-browser memory to avoid uploading artwork, protecting source TGA assets during icon generation.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare TGA Transparency

Flatten layer masks into a single alpha channel so CUR entries reflect intended transparency
Convert premultiplied alpha TGA to straight alpha before export to avoid edge halos
Match TGA color space to sRGB for predictable Windows rendering when profiles cannot be embedded
Resize large TGA art to target icon dimensions prior to conversion to control resampling artifacts
Remove hidden layers and extra channels to reduce final CUR file complexity

Target CUR Encoding Choices

Select 32-bit CUR entries to retain TGA color fidelity and per-pixel alpha where possible
Use paletted or mask-based entries only for legacy compatibility to avoid soft-edge loss
Include multiple icon sizes in one CUR to ensure proper DPI scaling on Windows
Prefer PNG-backed icon entries for smaller CUR sizes when the platform supports it
Test resulting CUR sizes against application constraints to avoid oversized resources

Integrate with Design Tools

Export TGA from Photoshop with final composite to keep layer effects intact in the raster
Use resource editors to inspect multi-entry CURs and verify embedded bit depths
If further edits are needed, extract CUR bitmap entries to PNG for round-trip editing
Validate icon legibility at 16px and 32px inside your UI mockups before distribution
When using version control, store original TGA sources alongside CURs for future edits

Verify Output and Workflow

Compare output CUR alpha against original TGA at 100% zoom to detect quantization issues
Batch-convert a representative set of TGAs to confirm automated scaling and mask behavior
Keep high-resolution TGAs in archives; regenerate CURs if design tweaks are required
Run CURs through the target Windows environment to check color and hotspot positioning
Monitor memory when converting large batches; group files into 20–50 for stable processing

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.
