# UIImageName

The name of an image to display during app launch.

## Discussion

Provide a value for this key that’s the name of an image in your asset catalog. You use the same string for the value that you might use when calling the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIImage/init(named:)> initializer of <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIImage>. Because the image comes from your asset catalog, you can use slicing to provide a small image that works on many different platforms.

If you don’t specify an image, the display shows the background color, as given by the [`UIColorName`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UILaunchScreen/UIColorName) key. The background color may also show through any transparency in your image.
