What are the correct pixel dimensions for an apple-touch-icon?

Question

I\'m not sure what the correct size should be.

Many sites seem to repeat that the apple-touch-icon should be 57x57 pixels but cite a broken link as their source.

Answer 1

Apple specs specify new sizes for iOS7:

• 60x60
• 76x76
• 120x120
• 152x152

Whereas old sizes for iOS6 and prior are:

• 57x57
• 72x72
• 114x114
• 144x144

By the way, precomposed icons are deprecated.

As a consequence, to support but new devices (running iOS7) and older (iOS6 and prior), these 8 pictures must be present and the generic code is:

In addition, you should create a 152x152 picture named apple-touch-icon.png.

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