CSS Loader Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

The CSS loader generator helps create loading indicators like spinners, pulsing dots, or skeletons without images. Animations typically use keyframes, transforms, and borders to create repetitive motion. A good loader provides clear and lightweight feedback to the device.

Key points

Simple spinners can be made from a border with one side different color
Animation-name connects elements with keyframes
Animation-iteration-count: infinite makes animation repeated
The skeleton loader mimics the structure of the content being loaded
Add status roles or live-air to help the screen reader understand the process
