TM2 to CUR conversion is the process of transforming an image file in the TM2 format (a texture/image format used by some software and games) into a CUR file, the Windows cursor format. This converts raster data and palette/alpha information into a cursor-compatible image, optionally embedding hotspot coordinates for cursor use.

Preserve quality by exporting TM2 with original palette and alpha data; avoid intermediate lossy formats like JPEG before conversion.
For crisp cursors, convert or rasterize TM2 images to standard cursor sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48) and preview at 100% scale.
