SVG to React icon component

SVG to React icon component conversion is useful when you have one icon or logo mark that needs to live in a React app. The converter handles common JSX attribute changes, but you still need to review naming, duplicate IDs, styles, and accessibility labels.

React icon component checklist

1. Clean the SVG first if it came from an unknown source.
2. Use a clear PascalCase component name, such as SearchIcon or CameraIcon.
3. Check converted JSX attributes like strokeWidth, fillRule, and className.
4. Review IDs if the icon uses gradients, masks, clip paths, or filters.
5. Decide whether the icon is decorative or meaningful before adding labels.

A simple TSX pattern

For app icons, a typed component can accept normal SVG props. That keeps size, className, aria labels, and event handlers under the control of the place where the icon is used.

import type { SVGProps } from "react";

export function SearchIcon(props: SVGProps<SVGSVGElement>) {
  return (
    <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" role="img" {...props}>
      <path d="M10 18a8 8 0 1 1 5.3-14" />
    </svg>
  );
}

When to use PDFSVG instead of SVGR

Use PDFSVG when you need a quick browser conversion for a single SVG and want to inspect the output right away. Use SVGR when your project needs repeatable import rules, build integration, icon templates, and shared settings across many files.

Clean before converting unknown SVG

Design tools can export metadata, inline styles, scripts, event handlers, and IDs that make React icons harder to maintain. Run unknown SVG through cleanup first, then convert it to a component once the browser preview looks right.
