How do I convert a JPG file to a CUR cursor online?

To convert JPG to CUR, upload your JPG file to our converter. You can optionally resize the image to your preferred cursor size (e.g., 32x32 or 64x64) and set a hotspot. Click 'Convert' to generate the .cur file, then download and apply it via Windows Mouse Properties.

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

A CUR file is the native Windows cursor format, so converting your JPG to .cur lets you use it as a custom mouse pointer without extra software. Unlike JPG, CUR supports 32-bit alpha transparency—but since your source is JPG, the transparency will be filled with a solid background. If you need transparent cursors, convert from PNG or GIF instead.

What happens to image quality and metadata during JPG to CUR conversion?

The conversion preserves the RGB pixel data and dimensions of your JPG, but because JPG uses lossy compression, any existing artifacts are retained in the .cur file. CUR files do not store EXIF or other metadata, so that information is stripped. The tool also lets you set the hotspot coordinates, which is essential for interactive cursors.
