To help you get started, we have created a short video tutorial on how to use the Cursor Constructor:

Can I use a GIF image as an animated cursor?

While it’s possible to set a GIF as a cursor, due to limitations in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers like Edge and Opera, the cursor will only display the first frame of the GIF. This means the cursor won’t be animated as you might expect. We recognize this limitation and are diligently working towards better solutions for our community.

We understand that you may need more detailed instructions, so we will be preparing a full tutorial for you soon. Thank you for using Sweezy Cursors!
