CSS Loader Generator (50+ Presets)
The ultimate CSS loader library. Features 50+ high-performance algorithms including physics simulations, tech UIs, and 3D transforms. Zero dependencies, pure CSS.
About
This is not just a generator; it is a comprehensive library of 50+ algorithmic loading states designed for enterprise-grade applications. While standard libraries offer a handful of generic spinners, this tool covers every UI context: from subtle micro-interactions (typing dots) to heavy data-processing visualization (radar, DNA, server scanning).
The library strictly adheres to the Composite-Only performance model. Complex shapes are achieved using mathematical tricks with box-shadow, conic-gradient, and clip-path to minimize DOM nodes. For example, the Newton's Cradle and Planetary Orbit loaders rely on precise transform-origin calculations to simulate physics without JavaScript.
Formulas
Advanced loaders utilize Conic Gradients to create circular progress without SVG. The angle θ controls the segment size:
For 3D rotations (Cube, Flip), we utilize the perspective projection matrix. The depth perception is controlled by:
