Frequently asked questions
What the Tadpole icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
This icon represents a tadpole-inspired loading animation featuring a circular head with a trailing tail creating organic swimming motion. This nature-inspired design provides distinctive loading feedback through biological movement patterns that feel alive and dynamic.
In educational applications and biology-related interfaces, you'll see this tadpole animation during content loading and interactive learning operations. It appears in children's educational apps where the playful organic motion creates engaging loading experiences that maintain young users' attention during wait times.
From an educational UX perspective, the tadpole spinner communicates more than just loading status - it specifically indicates playful operations, child-friendly processing, and educational content loading. The swimming motion creates narrative around loading, transforming wait time into part of the learning experience.
Tadpole is one of 46 icons in SVG Spinners, made by Utkarsh Verma 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 TadpoleIcon to components/icons/svg-spinners-tadpole.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 TadpoleIcon 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 Tadpole icon, or any of 46 SVG Spinners 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="Tadpole", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. TadpoleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TadpoleIcon 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 SVG Spinners, Utkarsh Verma and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
