WPG to CUR Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
WordPerfect Graphics and Windows Cursor exist for different jobs: WPG is the embedded-graphics format of WordPerfect Office — vector and bitmap drawings from 1990s documents, still found in legal and government archives. Converting CUR to PNG lets you view and reuse cursor graphics in design tools.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.
How WPG compares to CUR

| Transparency | Supported | Supported |
| Animation | Not supported | No (that is .ani) |
| Metadata | Minimal | Hotspot coordinates |
| Best for | WordPerfect document graphics | Windows cursors and UI assets |

About the WPG format
WPG is the graphics format of WordPerfect Office, the word processor that dominated North American law offices and government agencies through the 1990s. WPG files embed both vector line art and bitmaps, which is why they still surface inside archived legal filings and municipal records.
Nothing modern reads WPG natively. Converting WPG to PNG rescues those drawings into a format that drops into any document, wiki or image library without a WordPerfect installation.
+Strengths
- ✓Holds both vector and bitmap art
- ✓Compact for its era
- ✓Widely present in legal archives
!Limitations
- −Legacy format, no modern support
- −Vector data may rasterize on convert
About the CUR format
CUR is the Windows cursor file: structurally identical to ICO (several small bitmap sizes bundled), with the addition of a hotspot coordinate that marks which pixel is the pointer's tip. Windows ships most of its system cursors as CUR files.
Designers customizing cursors or extracting UI assets meet CUR files that no modern image tool opens. Converting to PNG (the largest embedded size) makes them editable, viewable and reusable in web apps that implement custom cursors.
+Strengths
- ✓Windows cursor standard
- ✓Multiple sizes in one file
- ✓Hotspot data travels with the image
!Limitations
- −Tiny sizes only (usually ≤48px)
- −Meaningless outside cursor use
Why convert WPG to CUR?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of CUR meet what WPG cannot give you. Windows cursor standard Meanwhile Legacy format, no modern support One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this WPG to CUR converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting WPG to CUR?
No — CUR is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original WPG file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Can I convert several WPG files at once?
Yes — drop as many files as you like into the tool and they are converted in one batch. When more than one file comes out, everything is bundled into a ZIP for a single download.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to CUR?
Transparency is kept whenever CUR actually supports an alpha channel. If the target format has none (like JPG), transparent areas are flattened onto a white background — that is a property of the format, not of this tool.
