Pure CSS Spinner

I use a simple stock image and some vanilla CSS to create a simple spinner.

Spinner Gif

For this spinner I got this simple spinner of Pixabay (thanks gorkhs).

Rainbow Spinner

We start with just a very simple structure in our html.

<div class="spinner">
  <img src="./rainbow.png" class="img"/>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Tip: Make sure you include the correct path and name to your image.

After some general styling, we do the spinner action using CSS keyframes. For the speed I chose, I went with this:

 @keyframes spin {
   0% {
     transform: rotate(0deg);
   }
   100% {
     transform: rotate(360deg);
   }
 }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
