HTML to JSX & TSX Converter
The TryFormatter HTML to JSX & TSX Converter is a high-end utility designed for frontend developers migrating legacy templates, style parameters, or custom SVG illustrations into React-compatible JSX or TypeScript-compatible TSX code. Operating entirely within browser memory under our privacy-first local-native execution model, all code transformations are processed locally on your device, ensuring zero server-side storage or tracking. All processing happens locally in your browser.
What is an HTML to JSX and TSX Converter?
An HTML to JSX and TSX Converter changes standard HTML into React-compatible markup. It updates common attributes, converts inline style text into React style objects, closes void elements, converts HTML comments, and fixes common SVG attribute names.
JSX is used in JavaScript React files, while TSX is used in TypeScript React files. Their markup rules are mostly the same. TSX can also include TypeScript types, interfaces, and typed component props.
The converter handles common syntax changes, but it does not rewrite a complete website or application into React. Event logic, state, data loading, framework templates, and external scripts may still need manual work.
How to convert HTML to JSX
- Paste HTML or SVG code into the HTML Input editor.
- Select JSX as the output format.
- Select Convert HTML to JSX.
- Review the converted code and any warnings.
- Copy the result or download it as a
.jsxfile.
How to convert HTML to TSX
- Paste HTML or SVG code into the HTML Input editor.
- Select TSX as the output format.
- Enable component wrapping when you want a complete React function component.
- Enter a component name or enable a props interface only when needed.
- Select Convert HTML to TSX.
- Review the result, then copy it or download a
.tsxfile.
HTML, JSX, and TSX differences
HTML
Standard markup used by web pages. It uses attributes such as class, for, and text-based inline styles.
JSX
React markup written inside JavaScript. It uses names such as className and htmlFor.
TSX
JSX written inside a TypeScript file. It supports TypeScript types, interfaces, and typed component props.
- HTML uses
class; JSX and TSX useclassName. - HTML uses
for; JSX and TSX usehtmlFor. - Inline styles become JavaScript objects.
- Void elements such as
<img>and<input>must be self-closing. - Multiple root elements need a wrapper or React fragment.
- JavaScript expressions are placed inside curly braces.
Common HTML attribute changes
React uses camelCase names for many HTML and SVG attributes. The converter updates common attributes automatically.
| HTML | JSX or TSX | Example |
|---|---|---|
class |
className |
className="profile-card" |
for |
htmlFor |
htmlFor="email" |
tabindex |
tabIndex |
tabIndex={0} |
readonly |
readOnly |
readOnly |
maxlength |
maxLength |
maxLength={100} |
colspan |
colSpan |
colSpan={2} |
rowspan |
rowSpan |
rowSpan={3} |
autofocus |
autoFocus |
autoFocus |
srcset |
srcSet |
srcSet="small.jpg 480w" |
Inline style conversion
HTML stores inline styles in one text string. React expects a JavaScript object. CSS names such as background-color become camelCase names such as backgroundColor.
HTML input
<div style="background-color: white; padding: 16px;">
Content
</div>
JSX or TSX output
<div
style={{
backgroundColor: 'white',
padding: '16px',
}}
>
Content
</div>
CSS custom properties remain quoted because names such as --brand-color are not normal JavaScript property names.
style={{
'--brand-color': '#225F73',
}}
Self-closing HTML elements
HTML allows some elements without a closing slash. JSX and TSX require those elements to be self-closing.
| HTML | JSX or TSX |
|---|---|
<img src="/photo.jpg"> |
<img src="/photo.jpg" /> |
<input type="text"> |
<input type="text" /> |
<br> |
<br /> |
<hr> |
<hr /> |
Multiple root elements
A JSX or TSX expression must return one root value. When the input contains several top-level elements, the converter can wrap them in a React fragment.
HTML input
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>Start here.</p>
JSX or TSX output
<>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>Start here.</p>
</>
A fragment keeps the output valid without adding another HTML element to the page.
Event handlers and script tags
HTML event attributes use lowercase names and text strings. React uses camelCase event names and JavaScript functions.
Simple event example
<button onclick="submitForm()">Submit</button>
<button onClick={() => submitForm()}>
Submit
</button>
Simple function calls may be converted. Complex inline JavaScript should be reviewed manually because it may depend on global variables, browser state, or code outside the HTML snippet.
useEffect, an event function, or a separate module.
SVG conversion
SVG copied from design tools may contain attributes that React expects in camelCase. The converter can update common SVG names.
| SVG attribute | React attribute |
|---|---|
viewbox |
viewBox |
stroke-width |
strokeWidth |
stroke-linecap |
strokeLinecap |
fill-rule |
fillRule |
clip-path |
clipPath |
Complex SVG files may still require review, especially when they contain embedded styles, scripts, namespaces, filters, or references to external assets.
Complete conversion examples
HTML input
<div class="profile-card" style="background-color: white; padding: 16px;">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" readonly>
<img src="/avatar.jpg" alt="Profile">
</div>
JSX or TSX output
<div
className="profile-card"
style={{
backgroundColor: 'white',
padding: '16px',
}}
>
<label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" readOnly />
<img src="/avatar.jpg" alt="Profile" />
</div>
The converter changed class to className, changed for to htmlFor, converted the style string into an object, changed readonly to readOnly, and closed the input and img elements.
Unsupported template syntax
HTML copied from a framework or server template may include syntax that cannot be converted automatically.
- Angular directives such as
*ngIfand[(ngModel)] - Vue directives such as
v-if,v-for, and@click - Jinja and Liquid blocks such as
{% if %} - EJS expressions such as
<%= value %> - PHP blocks such as
<?php ?> - Razor expressions such as
@Model.Name - Handlebars blocks such as
{{#each}}
The converter may preserve the surrounding HTML and show a warning, but framework logic must be rewritten for React.
Common use cases
- Move static HTML into a React component.
- Convert an HTML prototype into JSX.
- Prepare markup for a TypeScript React component.
- Convert inline SVG into React-compatible code.
- Clean up HTML copied from a design or template.
- Find common JSX attribute problems before adding code to a project.
Common mistakes
- Using
classinstead ofclassName. - Using
forinstead ofhtmlFor. - Leaving
img,input, orbrtags open. - Keeping inline styles as a text string.
- Returning multiple root elements without a wrapper.
- Copying script tags directly into a component.
- Assuming Angular, Vue, PHP, or Jinja logic will become React automatically.
- Using converted event handlers without checking their dependencies.
- Forgetting to define TypeScript props in TSX mode.
- Using converted code without testing it in the project.
Privacy and processing
The conversion workflow is designed to process the pasted code in the browser. HTML input, JSX output, TSX output, script content, and component names should not be included in analytics events.
Browser extensions, clipboard tools, device settings, and third-party software remain outside the control of the converter. Avoid pasting secrets, credentials, private keys, access tokens, or confidential source code into any browser-based tool unless your environment has been reviewed.
Limitations
The converter changes markup structure and common attributes. It does not rebuild complete application behavior.
- It does not create React state or application data flow.
- It does not convert external CSS into CSS Modules.
- It does not rewrite JavaScript architecture.
- It does not convert Angular or Vue components into React components.
- It does not convert PHP, Jinja, Liquid, Razor, or EJS logic into React.
- It does not create API calls or data-loading logic.
- It does not know which component props your project requires.
- It does not run the output inside your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HTML to JSX and TSX Converter?
It converts standard HTML or SVG markup into React-compatible JSX or TSX by changing common attributes, inline styles, comments, void elements, and SVG attribute names.
What is the difference between HTML, JSX, and TSX?
HTML is standard web markup. JSX is React markup used inside JavaScript. TSX is JSX used inside TypeScript and can include typed props and interfaces.
Does the converter change class to className?
Yes. HTML class attributes are converted to className because React uses className for CSS classes.
Does it convert inline CSS styles?
Yes. Common inline style strings are converted into React style objects with camelCase property names. Styles that cannot be parsed safely may produce a warning.
How are multiple root elements handled?
Multiple top-level elements can be wrapped in a React fragment so the output returns one valid root value.
Can it convert inline JavaScript events?
It can convert simple event names and simple function calls. Complex inline JavaScript needs manual review because it may depend on code outside the HTML snippet.
Are script tags converted?
No. Script tags are not turned into React component logic automatically. Move that code into event functions, hooks, or separate modules.
Can it convert SVG code?
It can convert common SVG attributes such as viewbox, stroke-width, fill-rule, and clip-path into React-compatible attribute names.
Can it convert Angular, Vue, PHP, or Jinja templates?
It can preserve some surrounding HTML, but framework and server-template logic must be rewritten manually for React.
Is the converted JSX or TSX ready to use?
The output handles common syntax changes, but you should review event logic, types, props, imports, styles, and application behavior before using it in a React or Next.js project.
What is the difference between JSX and TSX output?
JSX output is intended for JavaScript React files. TSX output is intended for TypeScript React files and may include a typed component or props interface when enabled.
