Common questions

Which files can Splash Page open?

CBZ and CBR comics – zip and RAR archives of page images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and more). Splash Page looks at a file's contents rather than its name, so a “.cbr” that is really a zip opens fine. Password-protected and multi-part RAR files aren't supported.

How do I get my comics in?

Open the Dropbox tab, sign in, and browse to your comics. Tap a comic to download and open it, or tap Select to download several at once. Downloaded comics appear in the Library tab and can be read offline.

Can I try it without a Dropbox account?

Yes. Open the Dropbox tab and tap Try Sample Comics to browse, download and read four short comics that come with the app – about the philosophers Socrates, Plato, Descartes and Kant. Choose Connect Your Dropbox whenever you're ready to read your own.

How do I show the reader controls?

Tap the middle of the page or press and hold anywhere. Tap the left or right edge to turn pages, and pinch or double-tap to zoom.

How do two-page spreads work?

Turn your iPad to landscape and facing pages appear side by side, like an open book. The cover and pages that are already double-page images are shown on their own. You can change this under the ••• button in the reader.

How do I free up space?

In the Library, tap Select, choose comics, and tap the trash button. This only removes the copy on your device – your comics stay in Dropbox.

Why does Splash Page ask for access to my whole Dropbox?

So it can open the comic folders you already have, wherever they are. Access is read-only: the app can never change or delete your files. See the privacy policy.
