How to Convert CUR to GIF
Click inside the file drop area to upload your CUR file or drag & drop it.
Locate your CUR file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.
Select GIF as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.
Choose GIF based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.
Download the converted GIF file instantly after conversion.
Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your GIF file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.
You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)
Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

Q: Is there a way to change the DPI of an image during conversion?
A: Unfortunately, DPI changes aren’t part of the typical conversion process. However, you can resize and adjust image resolution before converting it to different formats. For DPI adjustments, consider using image editing software.
Q: Is RunConvert free to use?
A: Yes, we offer a free tier for image conversion. You can use it for basic conversions, but if you need faster processing or advanced features, we have premium options available too.
Q: Can I convert a very large image?
A: Sure! We support larger images, but keep in mind that very large files might take a little longer to convert. If you're working with huge files, just be patient – the result will be worth it!
Q: Why do my converted images look pixelated?
A: Pixelation happens when an image is resized or converted to a lower-resolution format. To avoid this, choose a high-resolution source image and a format that supports better quality.
Q: Can I convert a photo into a black-and-white version?
A: You can convert your image to black-and-white by choosing to change its color format before or after the conversion. Just keep in mind, our platform focuses mainly on format conversion, so for more detailed edits, a photo editor might be the way to go.
Q: Can I convert an image to PDF?
A: Yes! You can easily convert images to PDF. Just upload your image, select the PDF format, and your image will be part of a clean, easy-to-share PDF document.
What is CUR (Windows Cursor)?
CUR (Windows Cursor) is a specialized image format used primarily for mouse cursor images in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It's similar to the ICO format but specifically designed for cursor functionality.
CUR files store small images (typically 32×32 pixels or less) with transparency support and can include multiple cursor sizes for different display resolutions. They also contain a designated hotspot coordinate that defines the exact pixel that registers pointer position.
Unlike standard image formats, CUR files are designed to be loaded by the operating system for cursor display and interaction rather than for general viewing or editing as regular images.
How to open CUR?
CUR files can be viewed and edited with specialized icon and cursor editors like IcoFX, Axialis IconWorkshop, and Greenfish Icon Editor Pro.
Some general image editors like GIMP and Paint.NET (with plugins) can also open, edit, and save CUR files while preserving cursor-specific information.
For simple viewing, Windows Explorer will show thumbnails of CUR files, and most icon viewers can display CUR files as regular images.
CUR is Developed by: Microsoft Corporation
CUR was Released on: 1990 (with Windows 3.0)
