Apple iPhone/iPodTouch Web Clip Icon Sizes


On Apple iPhones and iPod Touches, you specify a link to an icon file like so:

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

...but on this page, it recommends that you specify two different sizes of icon, one for iPhone < 4 and another for iPhone 4.

There is no documentation I can find that shows how to specify the two separate icons. Can anyone help?


Solution

  • There are plenty of documentation about this on Google.

    Just use:

    <!-- **normal** (iPhone/iPod **non retina** display) -->
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png"/>
    
    <!-- **normal** (iPhone/iPod **retina** display) -->
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon-72.png" sizes="72x72"/>
    
    <!-- and **iPad** version -->
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon-114.png" sizes="114x114"/>
    

    As an additional info, you can have the icon without the gloss effect if you use apple-touch-icon-precomposed instead of apple-touch-icon.

    and there are several tags you can use in order to have all features of Safari Mobile like splash screen, etc
