How to Create a WebClip Bookmark Icon for your Site
Written on 10/16 • 0 CommentsApple allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to add bookmarks to the home screen of their device. These bookmarks can be added for any web page and appear as an icon on the home screen. Apple calls these WebClip Bookmarks. By default, the icon used for this home screen is a thumbnail screenshot of the page in question, but Apple have provided a mechanism for site owners to specify an icon to be used instead.
WebClip icons work in a similar way to favicons. On adding a page to the home screen, Mobile Safari looks for a file in the root of the site called apple-touch-icon.png. If that file exists, it’s used instead of the thumbnail preview.

- Name it “apple-touch-icon.png”.
- Upload it to the root folder of your website.
