Top Flutter Splash Screen packages

Last updated: May 18, 2026

The splash screen is the very first screen that appears when a user opens your app. It typically displays the app's logo, brand colors, and sometimes a loading indicator while the app initializes.

Best Practices for Splash Screens

When implementing splash screens in Flutter, the industry standard is to use a native splash screen rather than a Flutter-based widget.

Because the Flutter engine takes a brief moment to initialize upon app launch, using a purely Flutter-based splash screen will result in a jarring "white screen" (or black screen) flash before your widget renders. By modifying the native Android and iOS launch configurations, you can ensure your splash screen appears instantly.

flutter_native_splash is the most highly recommended package for this task. It automatically generates all necessary assets and configuration files for both iOS and Android directly from your pubspec.yaml. It also provides methods like preserve() and remove() to keep the native splash screen visible while your app performs essential background startup tasks (like checking authentication or initializing databases).

The complete list of Flutter packages that can help you create native, animated, and customizable splash screens for your Flutter app is provided below.
