Want to create or update your own favicon? Use the Favicon Generator, convert an image with the PNG to ICO converter, or check your current setup with the Favicon Checker.
A favicon is the smallest piece of a brand's identity, but it changes with every major redesign - which makes it a surprisingly reliable timeline of a company's visual evolution. Designers use favicon history for rebrand research and inspiration, journalists and researchers use it to document brand changes, and developers use it to recover an old icon when the original source files are long gone.
Once you find an icon you want to reuse or study, you can convert it to a modern format with the ICO to PNG converter, resize it with the Favicon Resizer, or rebuild it from a high-resolution image using the JPG to ICO converter. For a complete, modern icon set covering every device, the Favicon Package Generator creates all required sizes in one go.
All historical favicons are sourced from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, which has been crawling and archiving websites since 1996. We query its CDX API for favicon snapshots and deduplicate them by content hash, so you only see distinct versions.
The Wayback Machine doesn't crawl every page of every site on every visit. Favicon coverage depends on how frequently the site was crawled and whether the crawler followed the favicon URL. Small or newer sites may have sparse coverage.
Yes. When a domain has more than 2 unique versions, a Download all (ZIP) button appears in the results. The ZIP contains every version named by capture date, plus a README.txt. If you have a year filter active, only that year's icons are included in the archive.
Some archived snapshots are incomplete, or stored in legacy ICO sub-formats that modern browsers render inconsistently. Downloading the file usually still works. If you need a universally viewable copy, convert it with the ICO to PNG converter.
Historical favicons from third-party sites are their respective owners' copyrighted assets. This tool is intended for research, brand history documentation, and personal reference. For your own brand, create an original favicon with our Favicon Generator or use the Favicon Package Generator to create a complete set.
We query the Wayback Machine CDX API, which searches a very large index. We run our requests in parallel and cache results for 24 hours, so repeat lookups of the same domain are instant.
