Convert CUR to GV
Fast, free, and secure CUR to GV conversion. No registration required.
Stop uploading your cur files to random websites. Xonvert converts to gv right inside your browser — 100% offline. The CUR Cursor standard (maintained by Microsoft) provides defines cursor appearance with precise click-point (hotspot). Graphviz Source (AT&T Labs's format) delivers identical to .dot — same Graphviz DOT language — making this conversion highly practical. CUR Cursor dates back to 1990, while Graphviz Source arrived in 1991 with more modern compression technology. Every conversion preserves maximum quality while achieving the best possible output file size.
Benefits of CUR to GV Conversion
There are strong reasons to convert CUR to GV:
Cross-device access: Graphviz Source files open seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android — unlike CUR Cursor, which may require specialized software.
Embedding support: Graphviz Source files embed cleanly in websites, documents, and presentations without requiring additional plugins or viewers.
Feature support: Graphviz Source supports identical to .dot — same Graphviz DOT language, which may not be available or optimal in the CUR Cursor format.
Metadata handling: Graphviz Source has robust metadata support, allowing you to embed titles, tags, and descriptions that travel with the file.
Industry standard: In many diagram workflows, Graphviz Source has become the go-to format, making this conversion a frequent necessity.

Fidelity When Converting CUR to GV
For image-to-diagram conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both CUR Cursor and Graphviz Source. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically. Pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, and DPI information transfer directly between formats. When converting from CUR Cursor to Graphviz Source, the conversion is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved exactly as in the original.
This is a cross-category conversion from Image (CUR Cursor) to Diagram (Graphviz Source). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your CUR Cursor source and maps it into the Graphviz Source format. Image files typically contain custom Windows mouse cursors and cursor theme packages, while Diagram files are used for Graphviz diagrams using the .gv extension to avoid conflicts. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
