SVG to React/JSX Converter
What It Is
This tool converts raw SVG markup into clean, production-ready React JSX component syntax. It handles all the tedious parts of manual SVG-to-React conversion: transforming hyphenated SVG attributes to camelCase, converting class to className, parsing inline style strings into React style objects, and generating properly self-closing tags. Developers use it constantly when porting icons from design tools like Figma or Sketch, converting SVG sprite sheets, migrating from vanilla SVG to React component libraries, or building custom icon systems.
How It Works
Paste your SVG markup into the input area and the conversion happens instantly. The tool parses the SVG using the browser native DOMParser, walks the element tree, and applies a comprehensive attribute mapping for every SVG-to-React edge case. Hyphenated attributes (stroke-width → strokeWidth), namespace attributes (xlink:href → xlinkHref), and SVG-presentational attributes are all handled automatically. The output can be formatted as a function component, arrow function, or bare JSX markup — whichever matches your project conventions.
Worked Example
Input SVG:<svg class="icon" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round">
<circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"
style="fill: none; stroke: #333;"/>
</svg>Output JSX:<svg className="icon" viewBox="0 0 24 24" strokeWidth="2" strokeLinecap="round">
<circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"
style={{ fill: "none", stroke: "#333" }} />
</svg>The converter handles class → className, hyphenated attrs become camelCase, and the style string is parsed into a proper React style object. All within your browser — no server round-trip.
Common Use Cases
- Icon library migration. Converting SVG icon sets from design handoffs into reusable React components with consistent prop interfaces.
- Design-to-code. SVGs exported from Figma, Sketch, or Illustrator need attribute conversion before they work in React. This tool automates that step.
- Component refactoring. Replace inline dangerouslySetInnerHTML SVG usage with proper JSX components for better performance and type safety.
- Learning & teaching. Compare SVG and JSX syntax side-by-side to understand how React abstracts SVG attributes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How does the SVG attribute conversion work?
The converter automatically maps SVG attributes to their React JSX equivalents: hyphenated attributes like stroke-width become camelCase (strokeWidth), class becomes className, and style strings are parsed into React style objects. Namespace attributes like xlink:href map to xlinkHref. Standard SVG attributes that are already JSX-compatible pass through unchanged.
Q:What output formats are available?
You can choose from three output formats: a React function component declaration (function keyword), a React arrow function component (const + arrow), or bare JSX markup with no component wrapper. All formats properly handle self-closing tags, camelCase attributes, and style objects. The component name defaults to "SvgIcon" and is fully customizable.
Q:Can I convert SVGs with inline styles?
Yes. The converter parses inline style strings (style="fill: #000; stroke-width: 2px") into React-compatible style objects (style={{ fill: "#000", strokeWidth: "2px" }}). CSS property names are converted from kebab-case to camelCase automatically. Numeric values like opacity: "0.5" become plain numbers (0.5) in the output, while values with units remain strings.
Q:Does this work with complex SVGs that have gradients, masks, or filters?
Yes. The converter handles all SVG elements including defs, linearGradient, radialGradient, mask, clipPath, and filter primitives (feGaussianBlur, feOffset, feColorMatrix, etc.). Element names preserve their correct case sensitivity, and all standard SVG attributes are converted to their JSX equivalents. The preview panel renders the original SVG so you can verify the result visually.
Q:Is this SVG to JSX conversion done on the server or in my browser?
Everything runs locally in your browser. The SVG markup you paste is parsed using the native DOMParser API — no data is sent to any server. This makes the tool instant, private, and available offline after the initial page load. Your SVG content never leaves your device.
