Spinners

Indicate the loading state of a component or page with Bootstrap spinners, built entirely with HTML, CSS, and no JavaScript.

Example

The border spinner uses currentColor for its border-color, meaning you can customize the color with text color utilities. You can use any of our text color utilities on the standard spinner.

HTML
<div class="spinner-border text-primary">  <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span></div>

Growing spinner

If you don’t fancy a border spinner, switch to the grow spinner. While it doesn’t technically spin, it does repeatedly grow!

Use .spinner-grow class for grow spinner.
HTML
<div class="spinner-grow text-primary" role="status">  <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span></div>

Size

Add .spinner-border-sm and .spinner-grow-sm to make a smaller spinner that can quickly be used within other components.

Or, use custom CSS or inline styles to change the dimensions as needed.

HTML
<div class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm">    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span></div>

Buttons

Use spinners within buttons to indicate an action is currently processing or taking place. You may also swap the text out of the spinner element and utilize button text as needed.

HTML
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>    <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span></button>
