FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Loader icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The loader icon represents a loading animation used to indicate that a process is in progress. It is commonly used in user interfaces to provide feedback to users while content is being loaded or processed. The loader icon is essential in modern web and mobile applications, as it helps manage user expectations and prevents frustration. By displaying a loader icon, developers can inform users that the system is working on a task and will provide the requested information or functionality shortly.
In real-world applications, the loader icon appears in various software and platforms, such as Figma, Notion, and Google Chrome. When users interact with these applications, they often encounter loader icons while waiting for content to load, data to be processed, or pages to transition. For instance, when a user submits a form, a loader icon may appear to indicate that the system is processing the input.
From a UX perspective, the loader icon communicates that the system is active and working on a task. It helps users understand that the interface is responsive and that their actions have been registered. The loader icon can also be used to provide visual feedback, reducing the perceived wait time and making the overall user experience more engaging.
Loader is one of 486 icons in Pixelarticons, made by Gerrit Halfmann and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LoaderIcon to components/icons/pixelarticons-loader.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed LoaderIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Loader icon, or any of 486 Pixelarticons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Loader", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. LoaderIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LoaderIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Pixelarticons, Gerrit Halfmann and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
