The CUR file extension, short for Cursor Image, is a format used in Microsoft Windows for cursor icons. Its primary use is to display and manage custom cursor images, enhancing user interaction with graphical user interfaces. CUR files, a variant of ICO files, were introduced in early versions of Windows to enable animated and static cursor designs, elevating visual and functional user experiences. The structure typically contains image data, including multiple resolutions and color depths, which ensures adaptability across various display settings in Windows environments.
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format designed to support animated images. Introduced in 2004, APNG allows for animated sequences while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. This format is utilized for its lossless compression, making it ideal for web graphics where image quality is paramount. APNG files are widely used for animated icons, logos, and other elements that benefit from high-quality animations without the artifacts common in GIF files. Its concise, efficient structure makes it a preferred choice among developers and designers focused on optimizing web performance.
