About this icon

Use the History 16 icon

The History 16 icon from Octicons fits naturally in calendar apps, scheduling tools, time-tracking platforms, project management dashboards, and productivity suites. Its outline style makes it ideal for app navigation bars, toolbar buttons, form labels, and UI controls where clarity at 16–24px is critical.

Open it in IconStash to set stroke color via presets or a custom hex value, choose an exact pixel size (16–512px), control stroke width (0.1–3px), and preview against dark, light, or checkered backgrounds before downloading.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the History 16 icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Octicons is GitHub's own icon set, so History 16 is tuned for the density of GitHub's interface — small default sizes, tight shapes, and silhouettes that stay identifiable at 16px. That makes it a reliable baseline for developer tooling, code review screens and anything code-adjacent.

UX best practices

Time, calendar and scheduling icons tend to appear in dense grids. Keep the History 16 icon at a fixed size so rows stay aligned, and always pair it with the actual date or duration — an icon cannot disambiguate time zones, date formats or relative ranges like "next Tuesday".

Use in your project

React / npm — Octicons

npm install @primer/octicons-react

import { History16Icon } from '@primer/octicons-react';

// JSX usage:
<History16Icon size={24} />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the History 16 icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
