How to Import a CS2 Crosshair Code

Learn how to import CS2 crosshair codes and verify the result before playing.

Last reviewed 2026-05-17

Importing a CS2 crosshair is safest when you copy one share code, preview it, then check the result in an offline server before queuing.

Keep it simple: copy one code, import it, and test it before trying another. That makes it much easier to remember which setting actually felt good.

Use this guide when you have found a code on xhair.pro and want a reliable path from browser preview to an in-game CS2 crosshair you can judge properly.

Selection notes

Import from the in-game share menu

The safest way to use a CS2 share code is still the in-game Crosshair share/import screen. Paste one CSGO- code, import it, and check the preview before playing.

  • Copy one code at a time.
  • Save your current code before replacing it.
  • Test on a map before queueing.

Back up your current crosshair

Importing replaces your current setup. If you are testing pro codes, keep your original share code in a note or favorite list before changing anything.

If import fails, check the string first

Most failures come from missing characters, extra spaces, damaged copy text, or trying to paste console commands into the share-code field.

Workflow

1. Copy one share code

Open a player, team, map, or guide page and copy exactly one CS2 crosshair share code.

2. Open the crosshair import screen

In CS2, open Settings, then Game, then Crosshair, and choose the share/import action.

3. Paste and confirm

Paste the code, import it, then check the preview before saving.

4. Test on a real background

Load an offline map and test the crosshair on bright walls, dark corners, and common duel ranges.

Preview before importing

Open the builder to preview the code and copy console commands if needed.

FAQ

Can I import any code from xhair.pro?

Yes, as long as the code is a valid CS2 share code. Invalid or damaged strings will not import.

Will importing overwrite my current crosshair?

Yes. Save your current code first if you want to return to it later.

Can I paste console commands into the share-code import box?

No. The import box expects a CSGO- share code. Console commands go into the developer console or cfg files.

What should I do before replacing my current crosshair?

Export or copy your current share code so you can return to it later.

Why does the same code look different on my screen?

Resolution, monitor color, brightness, and map background can change perceived size and contrast.
