Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

Meaning

Use it for

loading, spinner, busy, loader, throbber

Alternatives

loader-circle: the arc spinner (Lucide loader-circle, FA circle-notch) instead of the spokes; pick one convention per product
hourglass: a long wait the user should notice (wait)
progress-bar: determinate progress with a known amount (progress-bar)

Don’t confuse with

refresh: refresh is an action the user takes; a spinner is a state

Also fits

progress bar: an indeterminate spinner (loading)
wait: loading (loader owns loading and busy)

Not for

in progress (use circle-progress): a spinner means loading right now, not a task status

Tags

loader, loading, spinner, busy, progress, wait, pending, activity-indicator, throbber
