Update 2/4/26 - 4PM Beta is over.  

Thanks to everyone helping me test the new updates! Hit the feedback button on the side of the page and leave your thoughts. If you find a bug, please report it and take a video or screenshot — anything helps!

I am really happy with how things turned out.  I spent nearly 4 months researching and implementing version 4.0 and I am not done yet.  I haven't been this dedicated on this website since I started it 20 years ago!  Thanks so much for being with me for 20 years!   

I wanted to give everyone a quick rundown of some of the things I've updated. Check out the official roadmap.

What's New:

  • New design with some flavor of the old
    • Mobile friendly
    • Dual theme with light and dark modes
    • Sets are now carousels, so you can view more than one cursor at a time
    • Multi-size cursors now show every size inside the .cur file
      • Embed code is size-selectable up to 128x128.  Browsers only support up to 128x128.
      • All future cursors going forward will be like this if they have multi size.
      • Listing pages will show 96x96 preview images if they have it.  If they don't, it's the largest size under 96x96.
    • Download cursors from anywhere on the site
    • Related Cursors and More by Creator tabs on entry pages
    • Search that's pretty fast and pretty good
    • Trending page
      • Shows daily and weekly trending cursors
      • Shows daily trending creators
    • Filters on every listing page
      • Most viewed
      • Most rated
      • Most commented
    • Tag pages that are AI-generated (there are still some bad tags — the AI needs refinement)
    • Please update your bookmarks.  All the cursor URLs have been changed.
    • Comments are back for now
  • Favorites system
    • Save up to 1,000 favorite cursors
    • Custom CSS codes for pointer and hover
    • Live preview on the page
  • Creator pages
  • New servers and a faster CDN behind Cloudflare's global edge network

While this beta is ongoing, I have a bunch of stuff to fix. There are still broken links, broken cursors, issues I haven't gotten to yet, and new features I'm still testing. The new system is pretty robust and I am able to find a lot of issues from the old website that I never knew existed.  Here's what I'm working on. I don't have a full timeline for when these will be done.

  • User system
  • Automated upload system
  • Upload images that turn into .cur and .ani files automatically
  • Marketplace system so people can sell their cursors (I don't plan to charge a fee for this)
  • Linux cursor support — this is being explored
  • Site-wide live preview for whatever cursor you select, similar to the favorites page
  • Creating a subdomain where the old design will live as some one suggested
