Loading animation maker

Make a loading spinner, bouncing dots or a ring that goes round, and save it as a GIF, an animated WebP with a clear background or an MP4. Free, with no account or uploads.

Start from three bouncing dots and change their colour, size and speed, or draw a loader of your own.

Make a loading animation

A .riv or a Lottie plays as it is; an SVG becomes shapes you can move; a picture is placed on the artboard; a 3D model opens in the 3D editor.

  • RIV
  • Lottie
  • TGS
  • SVG
  • PNG
  • GLB
  • KSANIM

How it works and help

A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you draw or bring in is sent anywhere.

  1. Say what you want to makeChoose a moving logo or icon, a loading animation or an animated icon to open a small animation that already moves, ready to change. Open a file takes an SVG, a picture or a project you saved before; you can also drop an SVG on the page.
  2. DrawDraw rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars and triangles, paths with the pen, and strokes with the pencil and brush. Fill closed areas with the bucket, join or cut shapes with the Shape Builder, and write words in the site's fonts.
  3. Animate with keysA key says what a part is like at one moment: its position, turn, size, opacity or colours. Set a key at one time and another later, and every frame between them is worked out for you.
  4. Choose the easingEach key says how the movement goes on to the next: Steady, Jump, Smooth, Speed up, Slow down, Speed up, slow down, Overshoot or Spring, or a curve of your own in the graph editor.
  5. Play itPlay the timeline to watch it. It can loop, play once or play there and back, and a work area plays only the part you are working on.
  6. Export itSay where it will go: social media or a video makes an MP4, a chat or an email a GIF, a website or an app an animated WebP with a clear background, and a still picture a PNG or SVG of one frame. Each file is checked before it is offered.

Questions people ask

Can a loading animation have a clear background?
Yes, as an animated WebP or an APNG, which keep soft see-through edges: this page saves a WebP for a website or an app already. A GIF keeps pixels only fully clear or fully solid, and an MP4 or WebM video made here has no clear background.
How do I make it loop without a jump?
Set the timeline to loop and make each part's last key the same as its first, as the three bouncing dots do. For a ring that turns, key a full circle with Steady easing so it never slows.
Can I change the speed and colours of the dots?
Yes. Choose a dot and change its fill to a colour or a gradient, change its size, or move its keys closer together on the timeline to make the bounce quicker.
