Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. ANI Animated Cursor preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.

This is a cross-category conversion from Document (OpenDocument Drawing) to Image (ANI Animated Cursor). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your OpenDocument Drawing source and maps it into the ANI Animated Cursor format.
