PT3 to CUR conversion is the process of transforming a PT3 file — a legacy module/tracker music file format used for chiptune and Amiga-style tracked audio — into a CUR file, which in this context is a custom container or cursor-compatible resource format used by certain applications. The conversion extracts audio samples and pattern data from the PT3 and repackages or renders them into the CUR target structure, enabling playback or use in environments that accept CUR resources.

Drag your .PT3 file from your computer or use the browse function.
Confirm .cur as the selected destination format.
Click "Convert" and download your converted .CUR file once ready.
The PT3 format generally uses the audio/midi MIME type and contains module music data with trackers and samples. CUR files use the image/x-win-bitmap MIME type and store cursor images with hotspot coordinates, often encoded with BMP or PNG codecs. Conversion involves interpreting PT3 audio data and packaging it into CUR-compatible image data for cursor use.
The CUR (.CUR) format is commonly used for other. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like PT3.
While specific technical details aren't available here, CUR files generally serve the purpose of storing other effectively within their domain.

PT3 files are typically used for module music formats, while CUR files are standard cursor formats used in graphic user interfaces. Unlike PT3, which is focused on audio data, CUR files define cursor images often used in Windows environments. Converting PT3 to CUR allows repurposing or embedding legacy module information into cursor graphics.
Keep individual PT3 files under 50–100 MB for fast processing; extremely large sample libraries increase conversion time and memory use.
To preserve audio fidelity, choose the high-quality CUR option (16-bit stereo, lossless) and ensure external samples referenced by PT3 are available during conversion.
For many small files, use batch conversion to preserve folder structure and speed up processing; for very large projects, convert single files to avoid memory spikes.
Be aware of format-specific limitations: PT3 modules may use tracker-specific effects or undocumented commands that can be approximated but not perfectly reproduced in CUR.
