WebClip icons for iPhone and iPod Touch

Get the Bookmarklet

To use these custom icons you need to add a bookmarklet to your iPhone/iPod Touch.

First make sure you are in Safari and drag the following link to your bookmarks bar.

Add iclypso WebClip Icon

Next, sync your iPhone/iPod touch with iTunes. Under the Info tab, make sure “sync Safari bookmarks” is checked. This will copy the bookmarklet to your device.

About the Bookmarklet

Drew McLellan got the ball rolling when he posted this blog article. Then Rob McMichael created a version that removes any current WebClip icons before adding the custom one. Finally Drew updated his bookmarklet and this is the version available on this site.

  3. Tap the bookmarklet. An alert will pop up and ask you to enter the WebClip URL.
