Cursor & Profile Effects
Full guide to all visual effects available on extort.bio profiles.
Custom Cursor
Replace the default mouse cursor on your profile with a PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, ICO, AVIF, or BMP. Upload it via the Cursor tile in Customize → Assets.
- Recommended: square art around 32×64px; larger images are scaled down for display
- The pointer hotspot is the center of the image
- Only applies on desktop (fine pointer) devices
- The image follows the pointer as a real layer (reliable for PNG and animated GIF)
- If the file cannot load, the normal cursor returns
Background Effects
9 CSS-animated overlay effects that sit on top of your background:
- Dither — diagonal dot grid pattern
- Plasma — shifting colour blobs
- Aurora — flowing northern lights gradients
- Snowflakes — falling white dots
- Rain — diagonal rain streaks
- Blurred — soft blurred colour blobs
- Night Sky — twinkling star field
- Old TV Scanlines — horizontal scanline flicker
- None — no effect
ℹ
Background effects render at 42% opacity so they don't overpower your background image or color.
Username Effects

- Shuffle — characters scramble and resolve
