GIMP Splash Archive

The splash screens archives shows us some of the history behind GIMP and how it has developed through the years. As a gratitude to all people doing splash screens for GIMP, this page has been setup to show everyone the good art from people contributing.

Create your own splash screen

The GIMP allows you to make your own splash screen and have that as startup splash instead of the one that comes with the archive. To do this you can simply follow the guidelines below.

  • Make the splash 300x200 or more. (Smaller splashs will make text being cut off)
  • Then save the splash in $PREFIX/gimp/2.0/images/gimp_splash.png
  • Starting with GIMP 2.2, the splash image is called gimp-splash.png and will also be searched in your personal GIMP directory (~/.gimp-2.2/). There's more info in the gimp manual page.

Restart GIMP and your splash screen should be the one being used by GIMP instead of the one from the archive.
