How to convert CUR to WebP

  1. Add your CUR cursors

    Drop CUR files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. WebP is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the WebP, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The CUR to WebP converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your cursors are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

CUR to WebP: what to expect

CUR is a Windows pointer format that other apps do not show as an image. WebP is smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and keeps transparency. CUR is at home in mouse pointers on Windows; WebP is the usual choice for images on websites.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can set the quality, aim for a target file size and resize the result.

The WebP encoder is a WebAssembly module that downloads the first time you convert to WebP and is cached afterwards. If the cursor file holds several sizes, the largest one is converted.

CUR vs WebP

CUR

Windows cursor

CUR is structured like an ICO icon file with one addition: each image carries a hotspot, the pixel that actually does the pointing. Windows uses it for custom mouse pointers. Cursors are small, typically 32 by 32 pixels.

WEBP

WebP image

WebP is Google's image format for the web. It is typically a quarter to a third smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports both transparency and animation. Browsers handle it well; older editors, printers' portals and some messaging apps do not.

Questions

Are my cursors uploaded anywhere?

No. The CUR to WebP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting CUR to WebP reduce quality?

A little: ToAny writes WebP in its lossy mode, so a small amount of detail is traded for a much smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can raise the quality under Options; there is no lossless setting.

Can I convert several CUR files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert CUR to WebP on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the CUR file, press Convert and save the WebP. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
