Understanding ANI and CUR file formats

ANI files are animated cursor files used in Windows operating systems. They contain a sequence of images that create an animation effect when used as a cursor. These files are typically used to enhance the visual experience of the user interface.

CUR files, on the other hand, are static cursor files also used in Windows. They represent a single image used as a cursor. Unlike ANI files, CUR files do not support animation and are used for simple cursor designs.

Converting ANI to CUR

Converting an ANI file to a CUR file involves extracting a single frame from the animation to use as a static cursor. This process is useful when you want to use a specific frame from an animated cursor as a standalone cursor.
