CSS Skeleton Loader Generator
Generate animated skeleton loading placeholders.
Shimmering skeleton loaders
Skeleton screens — grey placeholder blocks with a shimmer — make loading feel faster than a spinner by hinting at the content to come. This generator builds animated skeleton placeholders you can drop in while data loads.
Hand-building the shimmer animation and placeholder shapes each time is repetitive. Configure the rows and radius, preview the shimmer, and copy the CSS to give your app a polished, modern loading state.
Copy-ready skeleton
The shimmer is a moving linear-gradient animated across a grey block, so it needs no image or library. Built in your browser with nothing sent to a server.
