Pro crosshairs
Crosshairs used by players on the top teams in the current Valve Regional Standings, plus a few well-known names. Old-format settings are run through the same converter as the Convert tab, so they're marked converted, estimate — nudge length or thickness by 1 if it looks off in game.
Crosshair recommendation
Answer three quick questions and get a starting crosshair for the new CS2 settings. Fine-tune it, then copy one line into the console.
Paste this into the CS2 console (~):
A starting point, not a rule: play a few deathmatches and adjust by 1. Had a crosshair before the 22 Sep update? Convert your old one.

Paste an old CSGO- crosshair code or console lines (cl_crosshairsize 2…). Read in this browser only, nothing is uploaded.
How to copy your crosshair out of CS2
- Settings → Game → Crosshair (or the Crosshair/Scopes tab if your menu has one since the Sep 22 update).
- Look for a "Share" or "Export" button — it copies a CSGO- code to your clipboard.
- Paste that code into the box above, or into the Convert tab if it's from before Sep 22.
Menu wording not double-checked in game this session — tell Claude if it's changed and this gets fixed.
Get your old crosshair back.
The September 22 update moved CS2 crosshairs onto new commands. Your old settings are usually still sitting in your config file, but the game stopped reading them, and negative gaps no longer exist. This page reads your old values and writes the new command line.
Find your config file
Paste your Steam profile link or any Steam ID. It tells us the folder name Steam uses for your settings.
Open this file in Notepad, or drag it into step 2:
Steam also keeps a cloud copy here:
If Steam is installed somewhere else, the same path sits under your Steam folder.
Give us your old settings
Any of these works: drop the config file, paste its contents, paste your old console lines, or paste an old CSGO- crosshair code. Your file is read in this browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Colour
Pick any colour, like the colour picker in CS2’s Crosshair/Scopes tab. The preview and the command update as you go.
Size, thickness and gap are an estimate. The update changed the scale, so these are converted from a measured before-and-after crosshair. If it looks slightly off in game, change length or thickness by 1 in Settings → Crosshair/Scopes. Whole numbers only.
