CS2 Crosshair Code Decoder

How to Use the Crosshair Code Decoder

1. Copy a share code - from a pro settings site, a teammate, or CS2 itself (Settings > Game > Crosshair > Share).
2. Paste it into the input. Decoding happens instantly; an invalid or mistyped code is flagged by its checksum rather than silently producing wrong settings.
3. Read the settings table - style, size, thickness, gap, colour, alpha, outline, centre dot, T-style, follow recoil and the rest.
4. Copy the console commands with one click and paste them into the CS2 console to apply the crosshair.

What the Decoder Actually Does

A CSGO-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx code is a base-58 encoded block of 18 bytes using a custom dictionary that drops visually ambiguous characters. The decoder reverses the string, decodes it to bytes, validates the one-byte checksum, then unpacks each field: size and gap are signed fixed-point values (stored as tenths), colour is raw RGB plus a preset index, and booleans like the centre dot, outline and CS2's follow-recoil flag are bit-packed. The algorithm matches the community reference implementation used by CS Demo Manager, and everything runs in your browser - the code never leaves the page.

Why Decode Instead of Just Importing?

• Tweak before applying. Import takes the crosshair as-is; decoding shows you the exact cl_crosshair* values so you can nudge the gap or alpha before pasting.
• Move settings into a config. Paste the commands into your autoexec.cfg so the crosshair survives reinstalls and applies on every machine you play on.
• Understand a pro's setup. Seeing that a crosshair is style 4, size 1, thickness 0.5 with -2 gap teaches you more than a screenshot does.
