Editor: AniTuner is a free software to Create, edit and convert Animated Cursors (.ani files). Animated cursor files contain an animated mouse pointer like this one:and are recognized natively by Windows.
AniTuner comes with a lot of features that allow you to:
open and display any animated cursor stored in ANI files.
make animated cursors from GIF (animated), video AVI and bitmap strips.
import image files (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, Adobe Photoshop PSD, CUR, ICO) to turn them into static cursors or animated cursors.
export frames from animated cursors to several image formats.
modify existing animated cursors, and change their color depth or size.
convert animated cursors to animated GIF, AVI, bitmap strips or Adobe Flash SWF movies. On this page, all animated GIF files were generated with AniTuner.
edit frames, change their duration, modify them in your favorite image editor and save changes back to the animated cursor.
perform operations directly on one or several frames like rotation, flip, reverse, or image merging.
AniTuner deals with any cursor size (not only 32x32) and color depth (from grayscale to RGBA). It especially handles 32-bit cursors with an 8-bit alpha channel, allowing partial transparency in Windows 2000, XP and Vista cursors.
turn your old 16 or 256-color animated cursors into 32-bit animated cursors with a semi-transparent shadow: make animated cursors for Windows XP and Vista.
export and import animated cursors as a series of PNG files with alpha channel optionally.
browse for animated cursors on your computer and preview them directly in AniTuner.
