Splash Screen Generator

Splash Screen Generator: Export an App Launch Screen in Under Two Minutes

Every app needs a splash screen, and almost nobody wants to make one. It sits on screen for a second and a half, so it never earns a place on the sprint board — yet without it your build opens on a white void that reads as broken rather than loading.

This splash screen generator solves that in the time it takes to decide on a colour. Type your app name, pick your palette, and download a ready-sized PNG.

Three Inputs, One Export

The form is deliberately short:

• App name or initial — the mark at the centre of the screen. A full name works; a single initial works as a compact logotype.
• Tagline — optional. One short line beneath the name if you want it.
• Colours — set the palette so the screen matches the app it opens into.

Then Download PNG. There is nothing else to configure and nothing to install.

The Output Size, and What to Do With It

The export is a 1242×2688px PNG — a common mobile splash resolution and a sensible base to work from. Resize down for other device targets as needed; starting from a large asset and scaling down keeps edges clean.

One limitation to know upfront: this version builds a text or initial based mark. There is no image logo upload. If you have a finished logo file, use this alongside your design tool, or as a placeholder while the real asset is being produced.

Why a Placeholder Screen Is Worth Two Minutes

Development teams routinely ship internal builds with no launch screen, and testers report it as a bug every single time. A basic branded screen removes that noise immediately. It also gives stakeholders something coherent to look at during demos, which matters more than it should when someone is deciding whether the project looks on track.

The screen you export today is easy to replace later. The confusion caused by not having one is harder to undo.

What Good Splash Screen Examples Have in Common

Look at splash screen examples from well-built apps and the same restraint appears throughout. One mark, centred. A background colour that matches the app's first real screen, so the transition feels continuous rather than jarring. Either no text beyond the name, or a single short line. Nothing that needs reading, because nobody reads it.

The mistakes are just as consistent: too much text, a busy background, or colours that clash with the interface that follows. This tool's short form is a constraint that pushes you toward the version that works.

A Realistic Example: An MVP Demo

A two-person team is showing an early build to a potential client on Thursday. The app functions, but it opens on a blank white screen for a beat, and the founder knows exactly which question that will prompt.

He types the app name, adds the one-line tagline from the pitch deck, and sets the background to the deep navy used across the product. Download PNG, drop it into the build, rebuild. Total time: under three minutes.

The demo opens cleanly, and nobody asks whether the app is loading or crashed.

Who Uses It

Indie developers shipping a first app. Agency teams needing a placeholder before brand assets land. Students and bootcamp learners building portfolio projects. Founders preparing a demo. Anyone using an app splash screen generator to clear a small blocker rather than start a design project. The App Icon Generator and Favicon Generator clear the next two on the same list.

Clear the Blocker Now

A launch screen is a two-minute job that has been sitting on your list for a fortnight. Open the splash screen generator above, type your app name, pick your colour, and download the PNG before the kettle boils.
