Alignment

Margin

Use margin utilities like .m-5 for easy spacing.

              
  <div class="spinner-border m-5" role="status">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </div>

Placement

Use flexbox utilities, float utilities, or text alignment utilities to place spinners exactly where you need them in any situation.

Flex

              
  <div class="d-flex justify-content-center">
    <div class="spinner-border" role="status">
      <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
    </div>
  </div>

Loading...

              
  <div class="d-flex align-items-center">
    <strong>Loading...</strong>
    <div class="spinner-border ms-auto" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></div>
  </div>

Floats

              
  <div class="clearfix">
    <div class="spinner-border float-end" role="status">
      <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
    </div>
  </div>

Text align

              
  <div class="text-center">
    <div class="spinner-border" role="status">
      <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
    </div>
  </div>

Sizes

Add .spinner-border-sm and .spinner-grow-sm to make a smaller spinner that can quickly be used within other components.

              
  <div class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </div>
  <div class="spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm" role="status">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </div>

Or, use custom CSS or inline styles to change the dimensions as needed.

              
  <div class="spinner-border" style="width: 3rem; height: 3rem;" role="status">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </div>
  <div class="spinner-grow" style="width: 3rem; height: 3rem;" role="status">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </div>

Loading Buttons

Use spinners within buttons to indicate an action is currently processing or taking place. You may also swap the text out of the spinner element and utilize button text as needed.

              
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
    <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </button>
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
    <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    Loading...
  </button>

              
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
    <span class="spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
  </button>
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
    <span class="spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    Loading...
  </button>
