Question 1

What is a crosshair overlay?

Accepted Answer

A crosshair overlay is a small aiming reticle displayed in the center of your screen. Gamers use them for games that lack a built-in crosshair, or to practice aiming without launching a game.

Question 2

Does this work on top of games?

Accepted Answer

Browser-based overlays only work on top of the browser window. To use it over a game, run the game in a browser or use this in fullscreen then Alt+Tab. Some monitors have a built-in crosshair OSD feature for hardware-level overlay.

Question 3

What size crosshair is best?

Accepted Answer

For competitive FPS games, a small dot or 2-3px cross at 8-12px total size is typical. For strategy or casual games, a slightly larger circle reduces eye strain. Experiment to find what works for you.

Question 4

Can I use this to center my monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The crosshair appears at the exact mathematical center of the browser window. Use fullscreen mode and the crosshair aligns with your monitor physical center.
