SVG to React & Vue Component Converter

Pasting raw SVG markup into a React or Vue project usually needs manual adjustment: converting attributes like class to className, adding props for size and color, and wrapping it as a proper component. This tool automates that conversion, producing a ready to use component file, a distinct output format from anything else in this collection, since the result is framework specific code rather than plain SVG or CSS.

Why raw SVG doesn't just drop into JSX

JSX looks like HTML but compiles to JavaScript, which means it follows JavaScript's naming rules rather than the HTML and SVG specs' own conventions, class becomes className because class is a reserved word, and any hyphenated attribute like stroke-width or fill-rule becomes camelCase because JavaScript object keys can't contain a bare hyphen without being treated as subtraction. An inline style attribute has to become an actual object rather than a plain string too, since JSX's style prop specifically expects one. None of this is difficult to do by hand for a single icon, but it's exactly the kind of repetitive, easy to get subtly wrong conversion that's worth automating, especially across a whole icon set.

How the currentColor option makes an icon stylable

A raw exported icon usually has a hardcoded fill or stroke color baked into the file, which means every place that icon gets used is stuck with that one color unless the SVG itself is edited. Turning that toggle on replaces hardcoded fill and stroke values with currentColor, a special SVG keyword that inherits whatever CSS text color is active wherever the icon is placed, so a parent element's color, or a Tailwind text color class applied directly to the component, controls the icon's color automatically. This is the same technique used by essentially every popular icon library, and it's what makes an icon component genuinely reusable rather than fixed to one color.

Why the Vue output looks so much closer to the original SVG

Vue's template syntax is much closer to plain HTML than JSX is, it accepts kebab-case attributes, a literal style string, and the class attribute exactly as written, so far less actually needs converting. Vue also automatically forwards extra attributes like class and style onto a component's root element without any explicit wiring, unlike React, where a component has to deliberately spread props onto the SVG element to make that work. That's why the Vue output looks almost like the original file wrapped in a template block, while the React output involves more visible transformation, both are correct, they just reflect how differently the two frameworks are designed.

What's worth checking before shipping the result

This tool converts syntax reliably, but it doesn't validate that the resulting component is visually correct or free of framework-specific edge cases, an SVG with embedded raster images, filter effects referencing external resources, or unusual namespaced attributes can still need a manual look afterward. It's worth pasting the output into your actual project and rendering it once before assuming it's final, the same way you'd sanity check any generated code, rather than treating the conversion as guaranteed to be pixel perfect on the first pass for every possible SVG.

Runs entirely in your browser

Conversion happens locally by parsing the markup you paste in, nothing is uploaded or sent to a server. If your source SVG needs cleanup first, extra groups removed, or a viewBox fixed before converting it, our SVG Editor and ViewBox Fixer are useful first steps, both part of the same SVG & Design collection this tool belongs to.
