How do I convert a JXL image to a CUR cursor file?

Upload your JXL file, choose the desired cursor size (e.g., 32x32 or 48x48), set the hotspot position if needed, then click Convert. Our tool decodes the JPEG XL data and re-encodes it as a Windows-compatible .cur file with transparency preserved. Download the result and add it in Windows mouse settings.

Why should I convert JXL to CUR instead of using JXL directly?

JPEG XL (JXL) is a modern image format with superior compression and quality, but it isn't natively supported by Windows cursor loading APIs. CUR is the standard format for Windows pointers, supporting 32-bit transparency and hotspot metadata. Converting allows you to use a high-quality JXL image as a working cursor in Windows without needing an additional JXL reader.

What happens to transparency, resolution, and color when JXL is converted to CUR?

JXL images with an alpha channel are preserved as 32-bit ARGB data in the CUR file, so transparency remains intact. Since Windows cursors are typically small, the image is resized to standard dimensions like 16, 32, or 48 pixels; if the source is larger, it's downscaled. Color is converted to sRGB and any HDR or wide-gamut metadata from JXL is discarded, as CUR only supports 8-bit per channel. Animation in JXL is not carried over—only the first frame is used.
