Information about BMP and CUR file formats
| Name | BMP | CUR |
| Full name | BMP - Microsoft Windows bitmap | CUR - Microsoft Cursor Icon |
| File extension | .bmp, .dib | .cur |
| MIME type | image/bmp, image/x-bmp | |
| Developed by | Microsoft | Microsoft |
| Type of format | Raster graphics | Graphics file format for mouse cursors |
| Description | The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file or device independent bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a bitmap, is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. | The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. The CUR file format is an almost identical image file format for non-animated cursors in Microsoft Windows. |
| Technical details | The bitmap image file consists of fixed-size structures as well as variable-size structures appearing in a predetermined sequence. Many different versions of some of these structures can appear in the file, due to the long evolution of this file format. | The only differences between ICO and CUR file formats are the bytes used to identify them and the addition of a hotspot in the CUR format header; the hotspot is defined as the pixel offset (in x,y coordinates) from the top-left corner of the cursor image where the user is actually pointing the mouse. |
