SVG to SwiftUI Converter
Convert SVG paths to SwiftUI Shape code.
Overview
When Apple introduced SwiftUI, they gave developers a beautiful declarative way to draw shapes — but no way to convert the SVG assets they already had. Designers would hand over vector files, and developers would spend hours manually translating SVG path commands into SwiftUI code. Tedious, error-prone, and completely unnecessary.
So we built the tool we wished existed. SVG to SwiftUI Converter takes SVG path data and outputs clean, idiomatic SwiftUI Shape code — instantly, in the browser, with zero data leaving your machine.
The Challenge
The problem was specific but universal: every iOS developer using SVG assets hit the same wall. Manual translation was the only option, and it was slow and fragile. We needed to:
- Parse the full SVG path specification accurately, including arcs and relative commands
- Generate SwiftUI code that's clean enough to use without cleanup
- Do it entirely client-side — no servers, no uploads, no privacy concerns
Technical Stack
- Frontend: Next.js with React
- Parser: Custom SVG path parser
- Code Generation: AST-based SwiftUI code generator
Key Features
Complete SVG Support
Every path command — arcs, cubic Béziers, quadratic curves, relative coordinates. If it's valid SVG, it converts.
Production-Ready Output
Generated code comes properly indented, sensibly named, and ready to drop into Xcode. No hand-editing necessary.
Nothing Leaves Your Browser
All processing runs client-side. Your design assets stay on your machine — always.
Results
Over 30,000 developers have used the tool, generating more than 100,000 conversions. It consistently ranks #1 for "SVG to SwiftUI" searches — driving steady, compounding traffic without a dollar spent on marketing. A tool so useful it markets itself.
Lessons Learned
- Scratch your own itch: we built this because we needed it — that's why it actually works for the people who use it
- SEO is the best marketing for tools: a utility that ranks for the exact problem it solves generates traffic forever
- Client-side processing is a trust signal: when users see "nothing leaves your browser," conversion goes up because you've addressed the objection before they raised it
