CSS3 animations are quite powerful and many unimaginable animations can be created using CSS3. With a little knowledge of CSS3 one can create simple animations, and an in-depth knowledge of CSS3 can open doors for creating some really complex animations. We are all quite familiar with the loader shown on any website while the page is loading. The most commonly used ways to display loader are a spinner (a GIF image), loading text or a progress bar. CSS3 can take this to another level and can give a whole new user experience to this loading process with different, neat, simple, and unique animations.
\nThis post is a collection of 15 purely CSS3-based loading animations which will simply bring a \u201cWOW\u201d factor to your page. These loading animations are different and unique from each other in terms of animation, design, and behavior. These loading animations play with loading text, wave effects, circles, squares, and many other objects. Another advantage is that you can easily modify the design and colors to match your website’s color guidelines. Enjoy…<\/p>\n

This animation is eye-catching and very neatly done. It uses horizontal lines with some gradient effects to generate a wave. The CSS3 code makes use of the @keyframe rule which specifies the animation code. The animation is created by gradually changing from one set of CSS styles to another. During the animation, you can change the set of CSS styles many times.<\/p>\n See the Pen CSS3 Loading Animation<\/a> by Max (@MyXoToD<\/a>) on CodePen<\/a>.<\/p>\n https:\/\/codepen.io\/MyXoToD\/pen\/zbgAm <\/a><\/p>\n This loading animation uses 8 colored circles that turn into a square and then back to a circle to show the loading process. The colors used for the animations are quite vibrant and you can easily change them to match with your website theme. The CSS code uses @keyframe rules, plays with the border radius, scales them and finally rotates them to create this effect.

The movement of these dots creates an animation where you would feel like a snake is moving. The CSS code sets different positions for each dot and then animates them using transform properties to create a continuous animation. The dots move from left to right at different positions to create a beautiful effect. The CSS3 code uses the translate property to change the position of dots.
