Why convert ASTRO to JSX?
An .astro file and a React .jsx component both mix logic and markup, so the templates are close cousins - but Astro uses a server-only code fence while JSX uses an exported render function. Developers convert when migrating a component into a React or Next.js codebase.
How to convert ASTRO to JSX
Manual rewrite FREE
Move logic from the --- fence into the function body, wrap markup in return ( ... ), and add export default function. Read props as a function argument instead of Astro.props.
Fix JSX-specific syntax FREE
Change class to className, replace <slot /> with {children}, and convert Astro directives and set:html to their React equivalents like dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

- No tool does this automatically - expect hand-editing for every component.
- Astro-only features (partial hydration
client:*directives,Astro.props,Astro.glob,<slot>, scoped styles) have no direct JSX equivalent and must be re-implemented. - Astro renders on the server by default; the same markup as a React component may ship as client-side JS unless you use a server framework, changing performance characteristics.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an automatic Astro-to-JSX converter?
What's the main structural change?
--- code fence becomes the function body, and the markup goes inside a return statement of an exported function.How do I handle slots?
