Keep users entertained and informed during awkward pauses. Build lightweight, on-brand animations that make waits feel intentional instead of broken.
Try this prompt
Design a skeleton screen for an e-commerce product page with shimmering placeholders and a playful ‘Psst… loading your picks’ message.

Highlights

Prompt-Based Animation

Describe the vibe (“playful confetti spinner,” “sleek gradient progress bar”) and the builder generates a looping animation automatically.

Timeline Controls

Adjust duration, easing, and delays with simple sliders to match your actual load times.

Skeleton + Placeholder Kits

Swap default blank screens for on-brand skeleton layouts that hint at incoming content.

Audio & Microcopy

Add optional sound cues or friendly progress messages that reassure users the app is working.

Performance-Ready Exports

Download as Lottie, GIF, or CSS animations optimized for both web and native apps.

Analytics Insights

Track completion rates, abandonments, and average load times to spot friction quickly.

Loading Screen Best Practices

1. Set Expectations

Pair animations with realistic wait messaging (“Saving your changes… ~3s”) to reduce anxiety.

2. Loop Gracefully

Design loops that feel intentional beyond five seconds so longer waits don’t look broken.

3. Use Brand Motifs

Incorporate icons, mascots, or color palettes that reinforce your visual identity.

4. Offer Escape Routes

For longer operations, provide a cancel button or link to support to prevent drop-offs.

5. Keep Assets Light

Aim for sub-200KB animations so the loading screen itself doesn’t slow the experience.

6. Test on Real Devices

Preview on low-end phones and slow networks to ensure smooth playback everywhere.
