Preparation of the iOS launch screen
With a launch image, you only need to provide one file matching the criteria below for all possible display sizes.
- File format: JPG or PNG
- Size: 2732 x 2732 px
- Logo: centred, maximum 640 x 640 px, otherwise there may be bleed on some devices.
If you want to place a logo on the launch screen, make sure to centre it. Each iOS device will crop the launch screen from the centre and adjust it to the individual display size. If you make the area bigger, this may cause bleed.
