How do I convert a JPEG to a CUR file?

Upload your JPEG, then select your target cursor size (e.g., 32×32 or 48×48) and set the hotspot pixel. Our converter rasterizes the JPEG into a Windows-compatible CUR format, preserving transparency from any alpha channel or allowing you to key out a solid background.

Why should I convert JPEG to CUR instead of using another format?

CUR is the native format for Windows cursors, supporting multiple resolutions and proper transparency. JPEG, being a lossy raster format, can't store an alpha channel, so converting it to CUR lets you create custom cursors that work system-wide without relying on PNG or ICO workarounds.

What happens to image quality and transparency when converting JPEG to CUR?

JPEG's lossy compression can create artifacts and doesn't support transparency. During conversion, we flatten the image to an RGB surface, then generate monochrome or 32-bit alpha masks for the cursor. Colors outside the safety palette are dithered or quantized to match CUR's palette limitations, and resolution is resampled to standard cursor sizes.
