What is an SVG to JSX converter?
An SVG to JSX converter turns a raw <svg> snippet — the kind you export from a design tool or copy from an icon set — into markup React can render. SVG looks like HTML, but JSX has different rules: attribute names, inline styles, and self-closing tags all have to match what React expects. This tool applies those rules for you and returns clean JSX you can paste straight into a component.
Everything runs in your browser — your SVG is never uploaded.
Why raw SVG breaks in React
Paste an unmodified SVG into a component and the compiler complains, because a handful of things are spelled differently in JSX:
class→className—classis a reserved word in JavaScript.- Hyphenated attributes → camelCase —
stroke-widthbecomesstrokeWidth,clip-rulebecomesclipRule,stop-colorbecomesstopColor. - Namespaced attributes —
xlink:hrefbecomesxlinkHref,xml:spacebecomesxmlSpace. - Inline
stylestrings → objects —style="fill:#fff"must becomestyle={{ fill: '#fff' }}.
Miss one and you get a build error or a runtime warning. The converter handles all of them in one pass.
How to use the converter
- Paste your SVG markup into the input — or load the example to see the shape of the output.
- The JSX appears instantly, with every attribute renamed and inline styles converted.
- Optionally set a component name to wrap the SVG in a reusable component, tick TypeScript for typed props, and spread props so the component forwards
className,width, and the rest to the root<svg>. - Copy the result into your project.
Making the SVG reusable
Wrapping the SVG in a component with {...props} on the root <svg> lets you restyle one shared icon everywhere it's used — set its size with a width prop, recolor it by giving the SVG fill="currentColor" and setting color in CSS, or add an aria-label for screen readers. That's the advantage of inline SVG over an <img>: it's part of the DOM, so CSS and props reach it.
