Terms of Use

By accessing Font Loft you agree to these terms. They are written to be plain and short. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

Using the site

Font Loft is a free, server-rendered reference archive about Windows cursor packs. You may browse, link to, and share its pages freely. You agree not to use the site in any way that is unlawful, that interferes with its normal operation, or that attempts to overload, scrape abusively, probe, or circumvent the technical measures that keep it running for everyone.

Content and accuracy

The previews, descriptions, install guides, and listings on the site are provided for general information. We work to keep them accurate and current, but we make no warranty that any part of the site is complete, error-free, or up to date. Content may change or be removed at any time without notice.

Third-party content and downloads

Cursor packs catalogued here are created by independent artists and hosted on third-party platforms such as OpenGameArt.org, DeviantArt, itch.io, or personal portfolios. Font Loft does not host, sell, or take ownership of those files. When you follow an outbound link to download a pack, you leave this site and are subject to the destination's own terms and licenses. Always review the artist's stated license before using a pack.

Intellectual property

The Font Loft name, layout, written editorial copy, and original preview graphics are the property of the site and its operators. Each cursor pack remains the property of its original creator and is credited under the license that creator chose. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation; Font Loft is an independent fan archive and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators of Font Loft are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or from any files downloaded through links found here.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version always lives at this page; continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Notable changes will be noted in the changelog.

Quick install reference

Install any cursor pack on Windows in two minutes

Every pack on Font Loft ships as native .cur and .ani files — the same formats Windows has used since 1995. There is no installer, no browser extension, and no background process.

Windows 10

  1. Download the pack from the artist's source page and unzip it to C:\Windows\Cursors\<pack-name>\.
  2. Press Win+R, type main.cpl, and press Enter to open the classic Mouse Properties dialog.
  3. Switch to the Pointers tab. For each role (Normal Select, Link Select, Text, Busy, Precision…) click Browse and pick the matching .cur or .ani.
  4. Click Save As…, name your scheme, and hit Apply to lock it in across reboots.

Windows 11 (incl. 24H2)

  1. Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mouse → Additional mouse settings, or use the same Win+R → main.cpl shortcut.
  2. On the Pointers tab, browse to your unzipped folder and assign each cursor file to its matching role.
  3. If a 4K display upscales the pack, drop the Mouse pointer size slider in Settings → Accessibility → Mouse pointer and touch to 1 so cursors render at native resolution.
  4. Save as a named scheme — Windows 11 keeps schemes in HKCU\Control Panel\Cursors so you can swap them any time.
