AniTuner

AniTuner

Create, edit and convert animated cursor files (.ani) for Windows or animations with AniTuner. Animated cursor files contain an animated mouse pointer and are recognized natively by Windows.
AniTuner makes the creation and edition of these animated cursors easy. Everyone can now create his/her own animated cursors and animations in a snap:

Make animated cursors from animated GIF, AVI clips, bitmap strips, or by importing existing image files (BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, ICO, CUR) as cursor frames.

Create animated GIF, AVI clips, Adobe Flash movies, bitmap strips from animated cursors or any other image set.

Resize and edit frames, set frame duration, perform operations directly on one or several frames (like rotation, flip, reverse, or image merging), change color depth, create 32-bit XP and Vista cursors with partial transparency (alpha channel). AniTuner deals with any cursor size (not only 32x32) and color depth (from grayscale to RGBA).

Replace the default mouse pointers of Windows by animated cursors made with AniTuner. Or use AniTuner to produce animations for your web pages, blogs, instant messaging applications, e-mails, presentations, video clips or even programs...

AniTuner includes a context-sensitive help file, video tutorials, samples and finally AniTuner is a full freeware program.

Available with a standard installer (and uninstaller) or as a portable edition with no required installation: you can run AniTuner from any removable storage device like a USB stick, and without leaving traces on the computer.
