I wanted to use different funny mouse cursor pointer to my commercial website project. Is there any website providing this mouse pointer images for free or for low price?

If not how can i create a mouse cursor images myself. I guess its extension is .cur

Finding cursors
I'm sure that a simple search could pull up many free cursor sites. The first site in the linked result, Open Cursor Library, seems fairly extensive to me. I'm sure that you should have little trouble if what you want is to use cursors.

Creating cursors
If you want to design your own cursors instead, you could surely open Photoshop or Gimp and create a cursor file. I don't know either very well, but if they don't export/save cursor files, there are surely plugins for it.

Even better, you could just use Gimp, Photoshop, or an online image converter to convert your images to cursor formats. This allows you to use whatever software you are most comfortable with to design your cursors.
