Loading circular
Animated loading circular icon
The Loading circular animated icon loops continuously in 5 s, a good fit for loading spinners and progress indicators. Looping icons typically show loading spinners, active alerts, a ringing bell or a scroll-down hint.

Questions about the Loading circular icon
›Can I pause the Loading circular loop?
It pauses by itself while scrolled out of view and stays on its first frame when reduced motion is preferred or autoplay={false} is set. That first frame is empty for this icon, so keep a text label such as "Loading…" next to it. To show it only while something is pending, render it conditionally.
›How do screen readers announce the Loading circular loader?
They don't unless you pass aria-label="Loading…", which gives it role="img". Often better: keep it hidden and set aria-busy="true" on the region that is loading.
›Can Loading circular loop only while hovered instead?
Yes: pass interaction="hover-loop". It then loops while hovered, finishes the current cycle after mouseleave and stays static when reduced motion is preferred.
