Onboarding Screen Templates and Examples

Onboarding screens are the first thing people see after they open your app, and they decide whether users stay. Below are 26 onboarding screen templates and examples: illustrated three-screen walkthroughs in Photoshop and Illustrator, and Figma mobile app UI kits whose onboarding screens match the rest of the app. After the list come the types of app onboarding, with an example of each, and onboarding screen design best practices and ideas.

Onboarding screen design best practices and ideas

What the modern, beautiful onboarding screens above have in common, and ideas to borrow for your own app onboarding design:

  • Keep it to three or four screens. Each extra screen loses users.
  • One idea per screen. A visual, a title of three to five words and one short sentence.
  • Show progress. Page dots or a step counter tell people how much is left.
  • Let people skip. Always add a Skip link for returning or impatient users.
  • Make the last button clear. Get Started or Create Account, in your accent color.
  • Ask for preferences early. A genre, interest or goal picker right after the welcome makes the first home screen feel personal.
  • Ask for permissions in context. Explain why you need location or notifications before the system prompt.
  • Use a consistent illustration style. All screens should look like one set, whether you use flat illustrations, 3D characters or photos.
  • Test on small phones. Check that text and buttons fit on the smallest screen you support.

Frequently asked questions

How many onboarding screens should an app have?

Usually three, and no more than four. Make every screen skippable.

What should an onboarding screen include?

An illustration or photo, a short title, one sentence of text, progress dots, a Skip link and a clear button to continue or get started.

What is the difference between onboarding and a splash screen?

A splash screen shows the logo while the app loads. Onboarding screens come after it and explain the app to new users.

Can I edit these onboarding templates in Figma?

The mobile UI kits are Figma files, and they open in Figma or the free FigCraft app. The illustrated onboarding sets are Photoshop (PSD) and Illustrator (AI) files, not Figma; the PSD opens free in Photopea in your browser.

Are these onboarding screens coded?

No. They are editable design files to customise and hand off to developers.

Are there onboarding screens for websites?

Every template here is a mobile app design at phone width. For web onboarding and sign-up pages, start from a landing page layout: see our SaaS landing page designs.
