Internet connections are getting faster and faster, but from time to time there are some moments when we need to wait. In this case, creative designers try their best to alleviate the pain of waiting and make truly awesome progress bars (or loading bars).
Loading bars show a user the current progress of downloading or multi-step processes. Time-consuming dull processes of loading may quickly tire a user and make him go away. To avoid this, a designer could create an interesting progress bar and even increase the conversion rates with it.
The feature of all progress bars is in attention to details. Even the tiniest detail can change the whole user experience, and moreover, make people share and recommend your designs. Below you’ll find 30 amazing examples of loading bar designs I put together for your inspiration. Along with examples, you’ll see also some progress bar designs that can be downloaded for free!
