# Animated loading icons

> 5 free animated loading icons, including Infinity, Loading circular and Loading V2. For React, shadcn/ui and Lottie JSON, MIT licensed.

Spinners and loaders that loop for as long as something is in progress. Put one inside a submit button while a request runs, in place of content that is still loading, or on a full-screen splash; they hold still when the user prefers reduced motion.

All 5 icons loop continuously. Each one comes as a React component, a shadcn/ui component and a Lottie JSON animation, and 2 of them also as static SVGs, free for commercial use under the MIT license.

## FAQ

### Which animated loading icons are included?

5 icons: Infinity, Loading circular, Loading V2, Loading V3 and Loading V4. All of them are free for personal and commercial projects under the MIT license, with no attribution required.

### How do I use these animated loading icons in React?

Install react-useanimations, add import loading from 'react-useanimations/lib/loading' and render <UseAnimations animation={loading} size={32} />. The icon plays its loop interaction and follows the text color. With shadcn/ui, run npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/loading.json instead.

### Can I use these animated loading icons without React?

Yes. Each icon is a Lottie JSON file at https://useanimations.com/icons/<id>.json (for example https://useanimations.com/icons/loading.json), playable with lottie-web, lottie-ios, lottie-android or Flutter's lottie package; static SVGs are on each icon page. None of them use expressions, so lottie-web's light build is enough.
