SVG to React (JSX) Converter

Convert raw SVG to a ready-to-use React or Vue component. Transforms class to className and kebab-case to camelCase, generating clean JSX.

What is SVG to React Converter?

SVG to React Converter transforms raw SVG markup into a ready-to-use React or Vue component. It converts HTML-style attributes to their JSX equivalents — class becomes className, kebab-case attributes like fill-rule and stroke-width become camelCase (fillRule, strokeWidth), and xlink:href becomes xlinkHref. The tool wraps the cleaned SVG in a proper component structure with props spreading, optional TypeScript typing, and React.memo support. This is the same core functionality provided by popular tools like SVGR, but runs entirely in your browser with zero installation.

When to use it?

Use this tool whenever you export an SVG from a design tool like Figma, Illustrator, or Sketch and need to drop it into a React or Vue project. Instead of manually fixing attributes or installing a build plugin, paste the SVG, choose your options, and copy the ready-to-use component. It is especially useful for one-off icon imports, quick prototyping, or when you don't want to add SVGR to your build pipeline.

Common use cases

Frontend developers use SVG to React Converter to convert Figma exports into React components for icon systems, transform Illustrator artwork into inline JSX for landing pages, create Vue Single File Components from raw SVG files, remove hardcoded width/height for responsive SVGs, and replace hardcoded colors with props for dynamic theming. The TypeScript option adds proper SVGProps typing, and the React.memo option prevents unnecessary re-renders for static SVG components.

What the converter fixes

Pasting an SVG into a React or Vue component is a chore of attribute renaming — this tool does it in one step:

Raw SVGJSX output
class="icon"className="icon"
fill-rule, stroke-widthfillRule, strokeWidth
clip-path, stroke-linecapclipPath, strokeLinecap
xlink:hrefxlinkHref
style="fill:red"style={{ fill: "red" }}
<!-- comment -->removed

It also wraps the markup in a named component (set your own name instead of the default) and supports both React JSX and Vue SFC output.

Component, <img>, or inline?

Converting to a component isn’t always the right call. Three ways to use an SVG, by situation:

  • React/Vue component — when you want props, currentColor theming, or to bundle icons with your code. Best for design-system icon sets.
  • <img src="icon.svg"> — when the SVG is static, large, or from an untrusted source (it’s sandboxed and cached). Simplest for illustrations.
  • Inline in markup — when you need CSS to reach inside the SVG but aren’t in a component framework.

For a handful of recolorable UI icons, components win; for a big decorative graphic, an <img> reference is lighter.

Optimize before converting

The cleanest component starts from a clean SVG. Design-tool exports carry metadata, comments, and redundant attributes that survive into your JSX as noise. Run the SVG through the SVG Optimizer first, then convert — you’ll get a lean component instead of one littered with data-name attributes and editor cruft.

How this differs from SVGR

SVGR is the full build-time tool — Webpack/Vite plugins, a CLI, and deep configuration for transforming SVGs into components as part of your bundle. This browser tool covers the same core transformation for quick, one-off conversions with nothing to install. Use SVGR when you’re importing dozens of SVGs as components in a build pipeline; use this when you just need to convert a single icon right now. Everything runs locally, so proprietary assets stay on your device.

Key Concepts

JSX (JavaScript XML)

A syntax extension for JavaScript used in React that allows writing HTML-like markup inside JavaScript code. JSX is not valid JavaScript — it is transpiled by tools like Babel or TypeScript into React.createElement() calls. Key differences from HTML include using className instead of class, camelCase attributes instead of kebab-case, and self-closing tags for void elements.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

An XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Unlike raster formats (PNG, JPEG), SVG images scale to any size without losing quality. SVG elements can be styled with CSS and manipulated with JavaScript, making them ideal for icons, logos, illustrations, and interactive graphics in web applications.

camelCase Attribute Mapping

The process of converting hyphenated (kebab-case) SVG/HTML attributes to camelCase format required by React JSX. Examples: fill-rule becomes fillRule, stroke-width becomes strokeWidth, and clip-path becomes clipPath. This is necessary because JSX attributes map to JavaScript DOM properties, which use camelCase naming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool handle all SVG attributes?

Yes. The converter maps all standard SVG attributes from kebab-case (like fill-rule, stroke-width, clip-path) to their React-compatible camelCase equivalents (fillRule, strokeWidth, clipPath). It also transforms class to className, xlink:href to xlinkHref, and handles xmlns attributes.

Can I convert SVG to a Vue component instead of React?

Yes. The tool supports both React (JSX) and Vue (SFC) output formats. Vue output wraps the SVG in a <template> block inside a Single File Component structure. Switch between modes using the output format toggle.

Does it work with SVGs exported from Figma or Illustrator?

Yes. Design tools like Figma, Illustrator, and Sketch often export SVGs with unnecessary metadata, comments, and editor-specific attributes. This converter cleans up the output by removing comments and normalizing attributes while preserving the visual structure of the SVG.

Will it preserve inline styles in the SVG?

Yes. Inline style attributes are preserved in the output. For React output, the style string is kept as-is in the JSX. The tool focuses on attribute transformation and component wrapping rather than CSS manipulation.

Is this the same as SVGR?

This tool provides similar core functionality to SVGR — converting SVG markup to React components. However, SVGR is a full build-time tool with Webpack/Vite plugins, CLI, and advanced configuration. This browser-based tool is ideal for quick one-off conversions without installing anything.

Why can't I just paste raw SVG into my JSX?

Because JSX isn't HTML — it maps attributes to JavaScript DOM properties, which use different naming. Raw SVG breaks in JSX for several reasons: hyphenated attributes like fill-rule, stroke-width, and clip-path must become camelCase (fillRule, strokeWidth, clipPath); class must become className; xlink:href becomes xlinkHref; an inline style="..." string must become a style={{ }} object with camelCased properties; and HTML comments (<!-- -->) aren't valid JSX. This converter applies all of those transformations automatically so the output is valid JSX you can drop straight into a component, instead of hand-fixing dozens of attributes and hitting cryptic build errors.

How do I make the icon's color controllable from CSS or props?

Replace the hard-coded color values in the SVG with currentColor. When you set fill="currentColor" (and/or stroke="currentColor"), the icon inherits the CSS color property of whatever element it sits in — so color: red on a parent (or a Tailwind text-red-500 class, or a color prop) recolors the icon with no SVG edits. This is the single most useful trick for icon components: one SVG that adapts to context, hover states, and dark mode automatically. For multi-color icons, you can expose specific fills as component props instead. After converting, search the JSX for literal hex colors and swap the ones you want themeable to currentColor.

Troubleshooting & Technical Tips

Output JSX has mismatched tags or broken structure

Ensure your input SVG is valid and well-formed XML. Unclosed tags, missing quotes around attribute values, or HTML-style self-closing tags (like <br> instead of <br/>) will cause parsing issues. Use the SVG Optimizer tool first to clean up malformed SVGs.

Some attributes are not converted to camelCase

The converter handles all standard SVG attributes defined in the SVG specification. Custom data-* attributes are intentionally left unchanged as they are valid in both HTML and JSX. If you find a standard attribute that is not converted, the SVG may be using a non-standard or proprietary attribute.

Component name in output is "SvgComponent" instead of my desired name

Enter your preferred component name in the "Component Name" input field before converting. The tool defaults to "SvgComponent" when no custom name is provided.
