#What is Loading UI?

Loading UI is a curated, free, and forever open-source gallery of beautiful loading states for the web. It provides developers with a wide variety of spinners, dots, rings, text animations, skeletons, and creative loaders so users never see a blank screen. Built with modern web standards and Tailwind-friendly code, it follows the shadcn/ui spirit of simplicity and customization. Ideal for SaaS dashboards, marketing sites, forms, AI tools, or any React/Next.js project where smooth, engaging loading experiences matter. The site features a clean gallery with live previews, search, and instant copy functionality, making it effortless to improve perceived performance and user delight.
