Design your splash screen

The splash screen is what your users see for a moment while your app finishes loading. It’s a small detail, but a blank white flash reads as unfinished – a few minutes here fixes that.

Steps

1. Go to Core Assets

Open Splash & App Icon → Core Assets.

2. Add your Splash Screen Icon

Around 1024×1024 pixels recommended – this is what displays while your app loads.

3. Adjust the logo size

Use the Splash Logo Width control (50–600 pixels) to resize how large it appears on screen.

4. Set your background color

Choose the Splash Background color that shows behind your icon.

5. Preview it live

Switch to the Splash Screen tab to see exactly what your users will see for that brief moment on launch.

6. Done – no separate save needed

Every change here saves automatically as you adjust it.
