Extract Static .CUR Pointers from Animated .ANI Cursors

An animated Windows cursor (.ani) is a RIFF container (ACON) that stores a sequence of individual cursor frames inside an fram list chunk, along with display rate (rate) and frame sequence (seq ) metadata. This tool unpacks the RIFF container and saves every frame as a standalone Windows static cursor (.cur) file.

Why Convert ANI to CUR?

  • Use a single frame as a static desktop pointer: If you like the design of an animated cursor pack but prefer a non-animated pointer in Windows Mouse Properties, you can grab the exact frame you want as a .cur file.
  • Inspect and edit individual animation steps: Download all extracted .cur frames in a single ZIP archive, or convert any frame to PNG using CUR to PNG for pixel-level editing.
  • Preserved cursor headers: Each extracted frame is written with the proper .cur resource type (0x0002) and retains its embedded image data and transparency mask.
