Drop JPG (JPEG, JFIF) 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.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the CUR, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The JPG to CUR converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your photos are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
JPG has no transparency and loses a little detail every time it is saved again. CUR is what Windows needs for a custom mouse pointer. JPG is at home in photos you need to share, upload or print; CUR is the usual choice for mouse pointers on Windows. CUR cannot bring back detail that JPG compression already removed; it simply stores the result without further loss, in a larger file.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can pick which icon sizes go into the file.
The picture is fitted into squares of the sizes you pick, 32, 48 and 64 pixels by default; the hotspot, the pixel that points, is the top-left corner, where an arrow's tip sits.
JPG (also written JPEG) is the format almost every camera and website uses for photographs. It throws away detail the eye barely notices to keep files small, which is why it suits photos and struggles with sharp text or flat colour.

JPG converterCUR 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.

No. The JPG to CUR conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No further quality is lost: CUR stores the decoded pixels exactly. It cannot restore what JPG compression already discarded, and the file will be larger.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
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 JPG file, press Convert and save the CUR. There is nothing to install.
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.
