Temporary server processing; files are deleted after the request. This route exports an 8-bit rendered composite; source bit depth, metadata and editable layers are not retained. HDR values outside 0–1 are clipped for the SDR intermediate. Fixed server encoding profile; quality and compression are not adjustable on this route. One icon image, resized to fit 256×256. CUR hotspot is set to the top-left corner.

What changes when converting JPG to CUR
Input format details: JPG is mainly used for photos, uploads and sharing where broad compatibility matters.
Output format details: CUR is used for favicons and app icons, so size variants and transparency are important.
Source input: JPG input: Universal photo format for sharing, uploads and compatibility. Small photo files with adjustable quality. Transparency is flattened.
Target output: CUR output: Windows cursor icon files converted to standard image/icon formats. CUR output uses a real multi-size browser encoder with PNG payloads for Windows cursor files.
This page focuses on the exact JPG to CUR task: compatibility, compression, transparency, animation, metadata, color profile and output-quality trade-offs for this pair.

Quality, file size and compatibility
CUR output should be chosen for the actual destination: web pages need small files, archives need predictable compatibility, design handoff may need transparency, and camera workflows may need color accuracy. ImageConvert separates available routes from guide-only routes so visitors do not get mislabeled downloads or silent animation/layer loss.
For lossy outputs such as JPG, JPEG, JFIF and many WEBP settings, quality can reduce file size but permanently changes pixels. For lossless or alpha-friendly outputs such as PNG and some WEBP settings, transparency and sharp graphics can be preserved when the source data supports it. Professional formats require explicit color management and metadata handling.
