The Ultimate Guide to Selecting Loading Animations in UI Design


In the current UI/UX web design & app design trends, loading animations have become an indispensable element. Not only do they enhance the user's waiting experience, but they also add fun and modernity to the interface. Below is an ultimate cheat sheet for loading animation components, designed to offer designers a quick reference to choose and implement the most suitable loading animations for their project needs.

Spinner Indicator

The spinner is one of the most common loading animations. Its simple form and intuitive motion convey that data is being processed or loaded.

Basic Style

The basic spinner usually consists of a circular outline with a portion highlighted in a different color or opacity, creating a rotating visual effect.

Application Scenarios

This type of indicator is suitable for situations where the user is expected to wait, such as page loading or data submission.

Gradient Spinner Indicator

When you want to add a splash of color to the loading animation, the gradient spinner is an excellent choice. It uses color gradients to make the waiting moments more vibrant.

Color Application

Choose two or more coordinated colors to create a smooth transition effect.

Design Points

Ensure the color choice is consistent with the brand or the overall design language of the interface.

Jumping Squares

Jumping squares offer a more modern loading animation, conveying the waiting process through the jumping and rearranging of squares.

Shape Variants

Create a variety of animations by changing the size, number, or arrangement of the squares.

Animation Rhythm

Maintain a consistent animation rhythm to ensure users perceive a steady waiting progress.

Pulse Effect

The pulse effect mimics ripples in nature, adding a light and layered feel to the interface.

Pulse Principle

Simulate the effect of a pulse with gradually spreading circular ripples.

Visual Impact

Pulse animations are usually softer on the eyes and are suitable for situations where reducing user anxiety is desired.

Spinner Dots Indicator

The spinner dots indicator creates a spinning illusion through the rotation of multiple dots, making it a highly dynamic loading animation.

Dot Arrangement

The arrangement and size of the dots can create different dynamic effects.

Dynamic Design

A well-designed motion can make the loading process feel lively and attention-grabbing.

Loading animations play a vital role in enhancing the user waiting experience. A well-executed loading animation can alleviate user anxiety while showcasing the application or website design's professionalism and attention to detail. This ultimate cheat sheet gathers a series of curated loading animations, providing inspiration and practical guidance for designers and developers.
