Determinate loader
Determinate loaders display a measurable progression, offering users a clear indication of the task's completion.[1] Common shapes include horizontal progress bars or circles that fill gradually.
Use determinate loaders for tasks with predictable durations over 10 seconds, such as large file uploads. Design them with a clear endpoint, allowing users to track progress easily. Consider adding percentage labels for precision. For instance, a horizontal bar could represent file upload progress, visibly filling as the upload completes, accompanied by a percentage display.
Pro Tip: For loading processes that take more than a minute, let users know if it is okay to leave the page and come back later so they may switch to other tasks.
