What is a .cur file?
CUR is the Windows cursor format — essentially an ICO with an added hotspot marking the exact pixel that counts as the pointer's tip. CSS can use one for a custom cursor on a web page.

How to host a CUR file
- 1
Drop your CUR file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: custom-cursor.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
It downloads. Referenced from CSS as a cursor it works, though browsers may need a fallback keyword alongside it.
Why host a CUR file instead of emailing it?
A custom cursor for a web page needs a URL, and hosting the file gives you one without adding it to a build.
Worth knowing before you publish
- CSS needs a fallback: cursor: url(...), auto — browsers ignore the rule without one.
- Keep cursors at 32×32; larger ones are ignored by some browsers.
- PNG works as a CSS cursor too and is easier to produce.
CUR hosting questions
- Can I use this as a CSS cursor?
- Yes — cursor: url(address), auto. The fallback keyword is required or browsers ignore the rule entirely.
- CUR or PNG for a web cursor?
- PNG is easier to make and works fine in CSS. CUR carries a hotspot definition, which matters for desktop use.
- Will it display in the browser?
- It downloads. Cursors are applied through CSS rather than displayed as images.
