### What is a Web Clip?

A web clip is a shortcut or visual bookmark that provides quick access to a specific web page directly from a device's home screen. Unlike traditional bookmarks, Web Clips appear as icons on the home screen of iOS and iPadOS devices resembling apps. This feature allows users to open web links without launching a browser each time, making it particularly useful for accessing frequently visited sites or web applications.

### How do Web Clips Work?

Web clips function by linking directly to a specified URL. When tapped, they open the linked page in the default browser or in full-screen mode if configured. This functionality is not limited to standard URLs; Web Clips can also support various URI schemes, such as `mailto:`, `sms:`, or even JavaScript commands like `javascript:`, but their compatibility depends on the apps and configurations you have enabled on your device fleet. This versatility lets web clips perform actions beyond merely opening web pages, such as initiating emails or text messages.

To enhance user experience, web clips can be customized with specific icons and names. They can also be configured to open in full-screen mode, which hides the browser's UI controls, providing an app-like experience. This is especially useful when deploying Web Clips in environments where browser access needs to be restricted.

### Considerations

* Web clips require Safari to function. If you're using a [Home Screen Layout Library Item](/en/endpoint/library/library-items-profiles/configure-the-home-screen-layout-library-item), you can either add Safari to your Home Screen Layout, allowing users to access the full browser, or enable the 'Fullscreen' option in each web clip's settings.
* To keep the Safari interface out of sight and ensure users stay focused on the content, select the "Fullscreen" option.
* If using a web clip and need to navigate to other web resources while still keeping browser controls hidden, make sure to check "Always hide UI controls."
* Web clips can only be deployed to iPad devices with a single user.
