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!

You can easily apply a custom cursor site-wide in Webflow using Webflow’s built-in custom code settings without deep coding knowledge. Since you’ve already uploaded your custom cursor image, just follow these steps.

1. Locate Your Cursor Image URL

• In the Assets panel, locate the cursor image you uploaded.
• Right-click the image and choose Copy URL to get the full hosted link. It should look like: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/.../custom-cursor.png

2. Add Global Custom Code

• Go to your Webflow dashboard and open your site.

• Click on Project Settings > Custom Code tab.

• In the Head Code area, paste the following CSS inside a <style> tag:

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

• Replace PASTE-YOUR-IMAGE-URL-HERE with the link you copied.

3. Publish Your Site

• After pasting the code, click Save Changes.
• Then go back to the Designer and click Publish to update your live site.
• Check your published site to confirm the custom cursor appears across all pages.

Notes & Best Practices

• Make sure the cursor image is in .png, .cur, or .svg format and no larger than 128x128 px for best performance.
• If the image appears too large or is not centered well, resize the original file and re-upload.
• Always keep a fallback like auto or default in the CSS to ensure usability.

Summary

To apply a custom cursor site-wide in Webflow, copy the uploaded image URL from the Assets panel, then insert a <style> block with custom CSS into your site’s Head Code in Project Settings. Re-publish your site to activate the cursor across all pages.
