How can I use a custom cursor site-wide in Webflow without having any prior knowledge of custom code? I have already uploaded the cursor image I want to use in the site images section. Thank you!

To use a custom cursor site-wide in Webflow without prior coding knowledge, follow these steps using Webflow’s built-in tools and a small snippet of CSS you can safely copy and paste.

1. Prepare Your Cursor Image

• Make sure the image you uploaded is in the Assets panel.
• Ideally, the image should be a small PNG or SVG, around 32x32px or smaller, to keep the cursor lightweight and clean.
• Right-click your uploaded image and select Copy URL. You’ll need this URL for the next step.

2. Add Global Custom CSS in Webflow

• Go to Project Settings > Custom Code tab.

• In the Head Code or Footer Code field (Footer is recommended), paste the following CSS:

  <style>body, * { cursor: url('PASTE-YOUR-IMAGE-URL-HERE'), auto; }</style>

• Replace PASTE-YOUR-IMAGE-URL-HERE with the URL you copied earlier. Keep the single quotes and comma.

Example:
<style>body, * { cursor: url('https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/yourproject/image.png'), auto; }</style>

• Click Save and Publish your site for changes to take effect live.

3. Test and Adjust If Needed

• Publish your site and hover over different types of content to ensure the custom cursor shows consistently.
• If the cursor doesn't appear or seems off-centered, try adjusting your cursor image size or use a cursor hotspot editor to reposition the image’s hotspot (not directly available in Webflow but tools like RealFaviconGenerator.net can help).

Summary

To use a custom cursor site-wide without coding skills, upload your image, copy its URL, and paste a provided CSS snippet into your site’s Custom Code section in the Project Settings. Once published, your new cursor will replace the default cursor across the entire website.
