Questions

How do I convert CUR to ICO?

Drop your CUR file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the ICO downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the photo editor.

Is my CUR file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Can I convert several CUR files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every ICO inside.
