CUR to PS Converter

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.

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.

To convert images to CUR format for use as Windows cursors, use our cursor converter that handles hotspot positioning and appropriate transparency settings.

For web developers, our tools can convert CUR files to modern formats like PNG or SVG for use as custom cursors in web applications while preserving transparency.

When creating custom cursor sets, our batch conversion tools can generate consistent CUR files from your designs, maintaining proper sizing and hotspot positioning across an entire cursor package.

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.

To convert PS files to more widely supported formats like PDF, use our online converter that maintains all text, graphics, and layout elements from the original PostScript file.

Converting PS to PDF is the most common conversion path, as PDF preserves all PostScript elements while adding features like compression and web compatibility.

For image-based outputs like PNG or JPG, our converter will rasterize the PostScript content at your specified resolution.
