    And even if you create different sized pictures, as far as I can tell you can just remove all apple-touch-icon links and iOS will look for the files itself, starting with the preferred size (like apple-touch-icon-180x180.png) and using apple-touch-icon.png if no other files are found.

    Dimension-specific pictures, such as apple-touch-icon-76x76.png Precomposed touch icons (eg. apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png) apple-touch-icon.png As a consequence, when a web site as no apple-touch-icon.png or this picture is somewhat wrong, it may still support the Apple touch icon successfully.

  4. apple-touch-icons requires that at least one Apple touch icon is present and of a standard size. Why is this important? Since iOS 1.1.3, Safari for iOS has supported a way for developers to specify an image that will be used to represent the web site or app on the home screen. The image is known as the touch icon.
  5. developer.apple.com

    If no icons are specified using a link element, the website root directory is searched for icons with the apple-touch-icon... prefix. For example, if the appropriate icon size for the device is 58 x 58, the system searches for filenames in the following order:

    Having the proper icon will make the user remember its location on the device much easier and will increase the odds of it being clicked more often. Once you have selected a simplistic element or your logo for the job of an Apple icon, create a square .png file of it called apple-touch-icon with dimensions up to 180×180.

    Other than a slightly-blocky icon for anyone who saves my URL to their home screen on an iOS device, are there any downsides to just symlinking each of apple-touch-icon {-120x120,76x76,} {-precomposed,}.png to my 20x21 favicon.ico?

  1. Minimalist solution - Recommended

    A common practice is to create a single 180x180 icon, which is the highest expected resolution, and let the iOS devices scale it down as needed. It is declared with:

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

    Exhaustive solution - Not recommended

    Apple specs specify new sizes for iOS7:

    • 60x60
    • 76x76
    • 120x120
    • 152x152

    And also for iOS8:

    • 180x180

    In addition, precomposed icons are deprecated.

    As a consequence, to support both new devices (running iOS7) and older (iOS6 and prior), the generic code is:

    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png">    
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png">

    In addition, you should create a 180x180 picture named apple-touch-icon.png.

    Note that iOS looks for URL like /apple-touch-icon-76x76.png, if it does not find interesting stuff in the HTML code (a bit like what IE is doing with /favicon.ico). So it is important to keep the file names are they are above. It is also important to consider that Android/Chrome is also using these pictures.

    You might want to know that this favicon generator can create all these pictures at once. Full disclosure: I'm the author of this site.
