I Built a Tool That Converts React + Vite to Next.js — Here’s Why (and How You Can Use It)

Hey Devs

I love working with React + Vite. It's fast, modern, and super developer-friendly. But every time I had to move a project to Next.js for SEO, SSR, or routing reasons… it was a mess.

The Pain of Manual Migration

Manually migrating a React + Vite project to Next.js means:

• Replacing react-router with App Router or Pages Router
• Restructuring folders (/pages or /app)
• Managing "use client" everywhere
• Fixing hooks and providers
• Losing precious hours (and patience)

So I built something to help.

Introducing ViteToNext.AI

A tool that automatically transforms your React + Vite project into a working Next.js App Router structure.

What it does:

• Analyzes your routes, layouts, and components using AST parsing
• Converts React Router to app/-based routing
• Preserves your layouts and providers
• Adds "use client" where needed
• Lets you preview and export your Next.js-ready code (ZIP or GitHub)

Try It Free

You can try it here:

• Free plan for small projects (up to 10 routes)
• Agency plan for full migration and GitHub integration

No login required to test basic features.

Why I Built It

Because developers shouldn’t have to waste time on tedious, error-prone rewrites.

This tool started as a weekend project for myself… and it quickly became something useful for others. If it helps you save time, I’d love to hear it.

What's Next?

• Support for Pages Router
• Auto internationalization (next-i18next, next-intl)
• Provider detection and wrapping
• More layout heuristics

I Need Your Feedback

If you’ve tried the tool — or you’ve done this migration manually before — I’d love to hear your story.

Ping me in the comments or reach out via the chat in the app.

Thanks for reading

And happy refactoring
