Why Convert GIF to CUR file?

CUR is the file format Windows uses for mouse cursors, so converting a GIF to CUR is what you do when you want to turn an image into a custom pointer for your computer. If you are creating a personalized cursor or a cursor theme, this conversion packages your graphic into the format Windows recognizes as a pointer, ready to be set in your system settings.

Cursors work best from small, simple, clean graphics, since they are displayed at a tiny size on screen, and transparency is important so the pointer is not surrounded by a box. For anything other than an on-screen pointer, a standard image format is the right choice, but for making a custom cursor from a GIF, CUR is exactly what Windows needs.
