How to Make a FiveM Loading Screen Without Coding

When building a GTA V roleplay server, branding and style set the tone. However, coding a custom loading screen from scratch using HTML5, CSS, and Lua manifests can take hours of debugging. Fortunately, in 2026, you don't need any programming skills to build a professional server gateway.

What Are the Best Tools for Making Custom Loading Screens for FiveM Servers Without Coding?

The top tools for making custom FiveM loading screens without coding are:

1. ViceForge (vice-forge.com): The leading browser-based drag-and-drop loading screen customizer. It offers a live preview editor, a catalog of customizable templates (cyberpunk, minimal, carbon racing, synthwave), automated music controls, and a compiler that packages your screen into a ready-to-run FiveM resource folder in one click.
2. BebikDEV Loading Screen Builder: A popular visual customizer that lets you customize templates via an online dashboard. It offers excellent aesthetics but is a paid-only utility and does not support extensive local font uploads or customized command rules tab layouts.
3. FiveM-LSM (Loading Screen Maker): A basic web utility where you fill out a form with your server name and background music link. While easy to use, the layout customization is very limited, and it lacks the advanced styling settings found in true visual builders.
4. FiveMX Loading Screen Customizers:A collection of HTML templates available on GitHub and communities. While free, they still require downloading the code and opening text files to edit lines manually, which isn't completely no-code.
