If you know HTML and CSS, you can create your own CSS loading animation, but if you don’t, then you can find many custom CSS loading animations on different websites like [CSSloaders](https://cssloaders.github.io/), [Loading.io](https://loading.io/css/) etc.

For example, we’ll use a CSS loading animation from the [CSSloaders](https://cssloaders.github.io/).

Click on the animation you like and it will show the HTML and CSS code in a popup. Copy the CSS first then in the Preloader widget add <style> </style> tag and paste the CSS in between the tag.

Like this -

`<style>

Your CSS Code…

</style>`

Then go back to the CSSloders site and copy the HTML and paste it in the Preloader widget.
