Loading spinners are one of the most commonly copy-pasted UI patterns, and yet most projects end up importing a whole spinner library just for a single animated shape. This tool generates four common pure-CSS spinner styles — no images, no JavaScript, no dependencies.

What Is the CSS Spinner / Loader Generator?

Pick a spinner style (rotating ring, bouncing dots, pulsing circle, or equalizer bars), customize its size, color, and animation speed, and copy the ready-to-use HTML + CSS — the animation is entirely CSS @keyframes, so it works the moment you paste it in.

How to Use It

  1. Open the tool at /tools/css-spinner-generator.
  2. Choose a spinner style from the dropdown.
  3. Adjust size, color, and speed to match your design.
  4. Copy the generated HTML + CSS into your project.

Key Features

  • Four distinct styles: rotating ring, bouncing dots, pulsing circle, and equalizer bars.
  • Pure CSS animation, using @keyframes with no JavaScript dependency at all.
  • Fully customizable size, color, and speed, with live preview as you adjust each control.
  • Namespaced class names (wdtb- prefix) to avoid collisions with your existing CSS.

When to Use This Tool

  • Adding a loading indicator to a form, button, or async data-fetch UI without pulling in a library.
  • Matching a spinner’s color and speed to your existing brand/design system.
  • Learning how pure-CSS loading animations work by inspecting simple, readable generated code.
