Create a custom animation file
Last updated May 1st, 2025
You can create a custom device boot animation by uploading images to play in sequence, and setting the desired image orientation, dithering, and size. Once created and uploaded, you can preview and verify the animation before adding it to a profile and assigning it to devices.
