Apple Touch Icon Setup for iPhone Home Screen

A client's marketing site had been live for six months when I noticed something: adding it to my iPhone home screen showed a gray letter placeholder instead of their logo.

The One Line That Fixes It

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">. That is it. Our generator creates the 180×180 PNG — just drop it in your site root and add that tag to your head. Generate yours →
