Specifying a Webpage Icon for Web Clip

The user can add a web application or webpage link to the Home screen. These links, represented by an icon, are called web clips. Follow these simple steps to specify an icon to represent your web application or webpage on iPhone.

To specify an icon for the entire website (every page on the website), place an icon file in PNG format in the root document folder called apple-touch-icon.png.

To specify an icon for a single webpage, or replace the website icon with a webpage-specific icon, add a link element to the webpage as in:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/custom_icon.png"/>

In the above example, replace custom_icon.png with your icon filename.

See "Create an Icon for Your Web Application or Webpage" in iPhone Human Interface Guidelines in iPhone Human Interface Guidelines for webpage icon metrics.
