Customizing the WPS Startup Screen allows you to personalize your experience when launching the WPS Office suite, making it more visually appealing and aligned with your preferences.
Before making any changes, confirm that you have the most recent release of WPS Office.
To update, open the application, go to the top menu, choose Help, and select the Check for Updates option.
Do not skip updating—install all pending patches to ensure compatibility.
After updating, open any of the core WPS applications: Writer, Spreadsheets, or Presentation.
Locate and click the File button in the application’s main menu.
Among the listed items, locate and select the Options command.
You’ll now see a comprehensive settings window that controls how WPS behaves and looks.
Go to the General tab, which is usually the default or first tab in the dialog.
A dedicated Startup area will be visible with configuration controls.
There should be a toggle option named "Display splash screen on startup."
If you wish to disable the startup screen entirely, simply uncheck this box.
You’ll bypass the splash screen entirely, leading to a faster and cleaner startup.
To substitute the default image with your own, you’ll need to manually edit system files.
The application lacks an in-app tool to upload or select custom splash images.
Customization requires accessing the program’s internal asset folder.
On Windows, the path is usually C:\Program Files\WPS Office\version\files.
Within the files folder, go into the images or res subfolder.
Look for a file named splash.png or splash.jpg.
Before replacing it, make a backup of the original file by copying it to another location.
Ensure your image is saved as a.png or.jpg file to avoid display errors.
To maintain proportions, design your image at exactly 600×400 pixels.
Rename your image to splash.png or splash.jpg and replace the existing file.
This operation often requires elevated permissions on Windows systems.
Reboot the program to trigger the updated startup image.
Your replacement image will now show up during the initial loading phase.
Note that future updates to WPS Office may overwrite your custom file, so it's a good idea to keep a backup of your image and be prepared to reapply it after major updates.
; on Linux, look in
Find where WPS stores its assets, identify the splash file, and swap it with your image.
This change is cosmetic only—it influences appearance, not application behavior.
The splash screen is purely visual and only appears during the initial launch moment.
Business users can tailor the splash screen to showcase company logos or identity.
A branded splash screen enhances professionalism and recognition.
Always ensure that any image you use for customization complies with copyright and licensing rules.
Only use images you created, licensed, or obtained under a permissive license.
Customizing the startup screen turns a routine launch into a more satisfying and personalized interaction.
