What is a CUR file?
CUR is a cursor file format used by Windows to display custom mouse pointer icons. It’s structurally similar to ICO files but includes metadata for cursor positioning and animation.
CUR files are small and lightweight, often used to customize the look and feel of desktop interfaces.
How to open CUR files
CUR files can be opened and edited with software like RealWorld Cursor Editor, Axialis CursorWorkshop, or even some icon editors. Windows also allows you to set CUR files as pointers through the Control Panel.
If you want to convert CUR to a more common image format for editing or display, AnyConv can help with that in seconds.

What is a PNG file?
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It’s a popular raster image format developed as an open alternative to GIF. Released in 1996, PNG supports lossless compression, which means the image quality is preserved when the file is saved.
PNG is ideal for graphics that need transparency, sharp edges, or repeated editing — such as logos, icons, and screenshots. Unlike JPG, it retains full detail but usually results in larger file sizes.
How to open PNG files
PNG files are supported by nearly all operating systems and applications. You can open them using default image viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Web browsers, design software like Adobe Photoshop, and online tools such as AnyConv also handle PNG files without issues.
