How to Make a Custom Cursor Using CSS

December 28, 2020 admin

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to Make a Custom Cursor Using CSS. You can define a custom cursor using the cursor property. The cursor property takes the list of user-defined cursors, separated by commas, followed by the generic cursor.

First, make a cursor image and save it with .png or .gif extension (for Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and .cur (for Internet Explorer). Then apply the cursor property with a comma-separated list of URLs to those images. Finally, end this list with a generic cursor, as in the example below.

Source Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>Make a Custom Cursor Using CSS</title>
		<style type="text/css">       
			a{
				cursor: url("https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NmbnDADABUE/XSfhUk_X2yI/AAAAAAAAFFw/5Tp7zt_8erg2AJ-aQ1VhYdH_l4nTReY7wCLcBGAs/s1600/cursor.png"), default;
			}
		</style>
	</head>
	<body>
		Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, <a href="#">hover over this link</a> adipiscing elit.
	</body>
</html>
