Cursora – Custom Cursor for Any Theme & Page Builder

Install Cursora, open Cursora in the admin menu, pick an image from your media library and save. The new cursor appears on your website immediately (clear your page cache if you use one).

Native mode for small icons that should feel exactly like a normal mouse pointer (recommended size: 32 px). Effect mode for larger or animated images and smooth trailing.

In Native mode: PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP (WebP if your server supports it). Cursora converts the image into a PNG cursor, so animated GIFs become still images; SVG is not supported. In Effect mode: any image your visitors' browsers can display, including animated GIF, WebP and SVG (WordPress only accepts SVG uploads with an extra plugin).

Browsers ignore image cursors larger than 128 × 128 px. Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers also replace native cursors larger than 32 px with the standard arrow near the edge of the window. Use Effect mode for bigger images.

Cursora adds a sharp Retina (2x) version when the cursor is 64 px or smaller, the source image is at least twice that size and the click point is in the top-left corner. Browsers handle the click point of Retina cursors inconsistently, so for any other click point Cursora prefers an exact click point over extra sharpness.

Yes. The cursor works with any theme and page builder. Cursora switches itself off inside the Divi, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and Oxygen Classic editors. Divi toggles, tabs, slider arrows and the mobile menu button count as clickable, and so do Elementor video overlays, Swiper carousel arrows and dots, Kadence tabs, Slick slider dots and WooCommerce gallery thumbnails, so they get your hover image or the hand pointer.

Cursora respects cursors that your theme or a plugin sets on purpose, for example the grab hand on sliders and maps. If a theme sets cursor: default on a whole area, that area keeps the default arrow. Links and buttons – including linked gallery images and the text and icons inside them – show your hover image or the hand pointer. Disabled buttons and form fields inside them keep their own cursor, for example the "not allowed" sign.

Clear your page and optimization cache first. Then check that Cursora is switched on, an image is chosen and no error is shown under the image, and that the per-page switch in the editor sidebar is not set for this page. Cursora also stays off on touch devices, inside page builder editors and in forced-colors mode.

No. Native mode adds a few lines of CSS and no JavaScript. Effect mode adds one small stylesheet and one small, deferred script without dependencies such as jQuery. Nothing is loaded from other servers.

No. Touch devices have no mouse pointer, so Cursora does nothing there.

Cursora keeps the normal text cursor in form fields, shows the hand pointer over links unless you choose a hover image, turns off animation for visitors who prefer reduced motion and never hides the pointer if the script or image fails to load. When the visitor uses a forced-colors mode (for example the Windows contrast themes), Cursora switches itself off in Native and Effect mode, so visitors keep their own system pointer, which is often enlarged or high-contrast.

No. Everything is served from your own website.

Deactivating Cursora keeps your settings. Deleting the plugin (not just deactivating it) removes its settings, the cursor images it generated in uploads/cursora and the per-page switch setting of your pages. The images in your media library are not touched. On a multisite network, deleting the plugin removes only the data of the main site; other sites of the network keep theirs.
