Krypt Crosshair Guide: Free Crosshair Overlay, Presets & Codes
Krypt Crosshair draws a fully customisable crosshair on top of any window, game or not. It's an overlay only: a transparent window painted over your screen, with no game-process injection, no memory reads and no driver. It's free for Windows and macOS.
This guide covers setup, importing a Valorant or CS2 crosshair code, dynamic bloom, per-game profiles, and the rules to check before using it in competitive games.
What Krypt Crosshair does
- Eight shapes: cross, plus, dot, circle, T-shape, chevron, diagonal X, and a full-screen lineup cross.
- Image crosshairs from your own PNG, JPG, WEBP or BMP.
- 32 built-in presets grouped by game style (Valorant, CS, Apex, Fortnite), weapon role (sniper, pistol, shotgun, SMG), utility, accessibility (colourblind-safe and high-contrast) and pure style.
- Code import: paste a Valorant profile code or a CS2 crosshair share code.
- Dynamic behaviour: fire bloom, movement bloom and recorded spray patterns.
- Hide on ADS, per-game profiles, six rebindable hotkeys, a magnifier and multi-monitor support.
- Look: colour, opacity, glow, outline, dot, thickness, gap, rotation and offset, with a live preview that matches the overlay pixel for pixel.
How to download and install Krypt Crosshair
- Open the Krypt Crosshair page on krypt.cc. That page is the only official download; copies re-uploaded elsewhere can be modified.
- Pick the build for your system (Windows or macOS).
- Read and accept the Software Download Terms in the prompt. The file downloads as soon as you agree, and you won't be asked again for that tool until the terms change.
- Optional but sensible: upload the file to VirusTotal before you run it.
Windows
- Run the installer you downloaded.
- If Windows SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. Krypt builds aren't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen treats them as unrecognised apps. That warning is about the missing signature, not about anything it found in the file.
- Follow the installer, then launch Krypt Crosshair from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut.
macOS
- Open the download and drag Krypt Crosshair into your Applications folder.
- The first time you open it, macOS blocks it because it's from an unidentified developer. Click Done, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to Krypt Crosshair. On macOS 14 and older you can instead right-click the app and choose Open.
- If macOS instead says the app "is damaged and can't be opened", the file isn't damaged: Gatekeeper is refusing an unsigned download. Clear its quarantine flag once in Terminal, then open the app again:
xattr -cr "/Applications/Krypt Crosshair.app"If you saved the app somewhere other than Applications, drag it from Finder into the Terminal window after xattr -cr to paste its real path.
It needs no services, no registry changes and no admin rights.
Set up your crosshair
- Pick a preset close to what you like, or start from a shape.
- Adjust colour, thickness, gap and outline in the live preview. A contrasting outline keeps it visible on any background.
- Set your hotkeys, especially show/hide.
- Save it as a custom preset.
- Run your game in borderless windowed mode. Overlays generally can't draw over exclusive fullscreen.
Import a Valorant or CS2 crosshair code
- Copy the crosshair code: a Valorant profile code from Valorant's crosshair settings, or a CS2 share code (it starts with
CSGO-). - Paste it into Krypt Crosshair's import field.
- The same crosshair now works in every other game, and you can save it as a preset.
To share your own setup, copy the preset string and send it. Anyone with Krypt Crosshair can import it in one click.
Bloom, spray patterns and hide on ADS
- Fire bloom and movement bloom expand the crosshair while you shoot or move, so it reflects the reduced accuracy.
- Spray patterns: record your counter-movement for a gun and replay it as crosshair drift. A quick-swap popup switches between guns.
- Hide on ADS removes the crosshair while you aim down sights, on right, middle or thumb button, in hold or toggle mode.
Per-game profiles
Map a game's .exe to a preset and the crosshair switches automatically whenever that game has focus: a sniper-friendly dot in one game, a classic cross in another. With multiple monitors, choose which screen it draws on.
Quick tips
- Use the colourblind-safe or high-contrast presets if a colour gets lost in a game's palette.
- A small centred dot helps tracking without covering your target.
- The full-screen lineup cross is for lining up utility throws.
- If the crosshair sits off-centre, use offset to nudge it.
- Pair it with Krypt Tweaker for latency tuning.
Krypt Crosshair FAQ
Is Krypt Crosshair free?
Yes, and the source is available as a download on its page.
Is Krypt Crosshair safe and legit?
Krypt Crosshair is published by Krypt, and the only official download is on krypt.cc. Builds aren't code-signed yet, which is why Windows SmartScreen or macOS may warn you the first time; the install steps explain it. Never download it from a re-upload, and if you want a second opinion, scan the file on VirusTotal before opening it.
Will a crosshair overlay get me banned?
It doesn't inject into games, read memory or install a driver; it's a transparent window drawn on top of your screen. Whether overlays are allowed is still up to each game and tournament, so check their rules before using it in ranked or competitive play.
Does it add input lag or cost FPS?
It's drawn by the GPU and its page says it adds no frames and no input delay.
Why can't I see it in my game?
The game is probably in exclusive fullscreen. Switch to borderless windowed, and check the crosshair is on the right monitor.
Can I use my Valorant or CS2 crosshair?
Yes. Paste a Valorant profile code or a CS2 share code to import it.
Does it work on Mac?
Yes, there are Windows and macOS builds.
