Splash Screen

To ensure content is fully visible on all devices (including foldables and notched phones), keep all important elements (logo, text, branding) within the safe content area:

• Purpose: This is the first visual users see—your app’s “front door.”
• Design Tips (Do’s):
  • Use proper image format (.jpg/.jpeg/.png).
  • Recommended Safe Zone area:
    • Width (left to right): 850 px
    • Height (top to bottom): 2000 px
  • Keep your Splash Screen key contents inside the Safe Zone area, centered within the 2732 px X 2732 px canvas
• Dont’s:
  • For optimal display across a wide range of mobile devices, we recommend placing all logos and critical brand content within the Safe Zone area. The top of the screen is a high-risk zone for content being cut off by display notches and camera cutouts.

The other examples are ideal examples of standard splash screens that you can use as a reference for your own design.
