SVG to React Blog: Notes on SVG in Code
The SVG to React blog: practical articles on React, TypeScript, React Native, Next.js, SVGR, SVGO, and CSS data URIs, with code you can copy and check.
Longer articles about putting SVG into code: React components, JSX and TSX, React Native, Next.js, CSS data URIs, and optimization. Each post includes working code and links to the tool that does the step in your browser. The shorter guides describe exactly what this site's converters do. Last updated .
Posts
- SVG to React Component: A Practical Guide
Turn an SVG to React component code by hand or with SVGR. Rename attributes, keep viewBox, spread props, make IDs unique, and label icons for screen readers.
- SVG to JSX: Attribute Rules Explained
The SVG to JSX attribute rules in one place: className, camelCase presentation attributes, xlink and xml names, style objects, comments, and what stays as is.
- SVG to TSX: Typed SVG Icons in React
Move from SVG to TSX with typed props: SVGProps or ComponentProps, size and title props, refs in React 19 and 18, a typed icon map, and .svg module types.
- SVG to React Native with react-native-svg
Go from SVG to React Native with react-native-svg: install it, map elements to imports, set size and color, load .svg files with Metro, and know its limits.
- SVGR Alternative: SVGR vs Online Converter
Looking for an SVGR alternative? Compare SVGR in your build with an online converter: setup, repeatability, review, defaults like SVGO, and when to use each.
- Optimize SVG Without Breaking the Artwork
Optimize SVG files safely with SVGO. See which plugins remove viewBox, rename IDs, drop strokes, or merge paths, and how to configure and check the result.
- SVG in Next.js: Inline, img, or Component
Choose how to use SVG in Next.js: an img tag from public, next/image, an inline server component, SVGR with webpack or Turbopack, or the app/icon.svg file.
- SVG to Data URI in CSS: Encoding Rules
Put an SVG to data URI in CSS correctly: which characters to percent-encode, UTF-8 versus base64, quoting, recoloring with mask-image, and CSP rules.
Questions
Who writes the SVG to React blog?
The people who build the tools on this site. Each post explains a task the tools cover, such as converting an SVG to a component or encoding a data URI, and links to the matching tool page.
How is the blog different from the guides?
The guides describe exactly what the converters on this site do, switch by switch. Blog posts cover the wider task in your own project: bundler setup, TypeScript types, React Native, Next.js, and CSS, whether or not you use these tools.
Are the code examples tested?
The SVGR and SVGO output shown in the posts was produced by running those libraries, and the configuration examples follow the current documentation of each project. Versions change, so check the release notes of the version you install.
How do I report a mistake in a post?
Use the contact page or email contact@svgtoreact.com with the post URL and what is wrong. Corrections are made in the post itself, and the updated date at the top changes when they are.
