Dynapik offers a free online tool to change image types - no need to download anything. It's quick and easy to use. You can change your CUR images to PGX format. This tool works for both professionals and casual users. Convert your images to PGX in seconds.
Microsoft Windows Cursor
The standard format for static mouse cursors on Microsoft Windows.
The CUR format is the standard file format for static mouse cursors in the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is structurally almost identical to the ICO (Icon) format, with one key difference: the header contains a defined 'hotspot'. The hotspot specifies the exact pixel coordinate (x, y) that registers the click, such as the tip of an arrow pointer.
A CUR file starts with a header similar to an ICO file, but the 'image type' field is set to 2 (Cursor) instead of 1 (Icon). For each image in the file (it can contain multiple sizes/depths), the directory entry stores the hotspot X and Y coordinates instead of the color planes/bpp fields found in ICOs. The image data itself is typically a BMP with a 1-bit AND mask for transparency, or a PNG in modern versions.
Introduced with Windows 1.0, the format has evolved alongside Windows. Originally supporting only monochrome, it grew to support 16 colors, 256 colors, and finally 32-bit alpha-blended cursors in Windows XP.
JPEG 2000 VM Uncompressed
A single-component test format for JPEG 2000 verification.
PGX is an extremely simple, uncompressed raster format created specifically for the development and testing of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO 15444). It is defined in the JPEG 2000 Verification Model (VM). Its purpose is to store a single component (channel) of an image with potentially high bit depth and signed/unsigned values, without the complexity of a full image container.
A PGX file represents one image channel (grayscale). It starts with a minimalist text header identifying the endianness (`LMS` or `Big`), the sign (`+`/`-`), the bit depth, and dimensions. The raw pixel data follows immediately. It is effectively a raw dump of a single image plane.
Developed by the JPEG committee during the creation of JPEG 2000. It allowed researchers to test wavelet compression algorithms on raw data without worrying about file headers or color transforms.
