Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ICO and CUR?
ICO (icon) and CUR (cursor) files are nearly identical. The only difference is that CUR files include hotspot coordinates that define where the cursor "clicks" on screen.
What is the cursor hotspot?
The hotspot is the precise pixel that represents the click point. For an arrow cursor, it's at the tip. For a crosshair, it's at the center. You can set it to any position.
Why convert ICO to CUR?
If you have an icon you want to use as a custom cursor on Windows, you need to convert it to CUR format with a defined hotspot.
