CUR to MP3

Looking to turn a CUR into MP3? Here's the honest answer — and the conversions that actually work.

We can't convert CUR to MP3 — images and audio are completely different kinds of files. Here's what actually works.

Why CUR to MP3 isn't possible

1

Different kinds of files

An image stores pixels; an audio file stores a sound waveform. Neither contains the other, so no tool can turn a picture into a sound recording.

2

Want to add sound to the image?

Making a video or slideshow with music is a video tool, not a format conversion. Your CUR image itself can't become MP3 audio.

3

Do this with your CUR instead

CUR converts cleanly to PNG, ICO or ICNS.
