If you’re working with React + Vite, you probably love how fast and flexible the setup is.
But when SEO, SSR, or production-grade deployment comes into play…
You often hear:
“You should switch to Next.js.”
Well, I recently had to. And it was rough.
So I built a tool that makes it painless:
ViteToNext.AI
It automates the migration of your Vite + React app to a modern Next.js structure — in seconds.
Why manual migration is a pain
When you switch to Next.js, you're not just changing frameworks. You're rewriting how your app works:
- Routing (from
react-router
to App Router) - File structure (
/src
to/app
or/pages
) -
"use client"
placement - Layout rework
- SSR/SSG configuration
- Build/export logic
It’s slow, error-prone, and exhausting. I hit those issues too.
So I built ViteToNext.AI
This tool takes your Vite project and:
Parses your source files (AST-based)
Detects routes, components, hooks
Generates a working Next.js project (App Router included)
Inserts "use client"
intelligently
Lets you preview and edit the result
Exports as .zip
or pushes directly to GitHub
Example: before & after
// React Router (Vite)
<Routes>
<Route path="/about" element={<About />} />
</Routes>
// Next.js (App Router)
export default function AboutPage() {
return <div>About</div>;
}
// Located in: /app/about/page.tsx

You can test the platform live here:
https://vitetonext.codebypaki.online
Free plan: up to 10 routes / 65 components
Pro and Agency plans for unlimited projects and GitHub export
Works with:
react-router logic → Next.js App Router
Client/server boundary detection
Layouts, nested routes
Server components support (WIP)
Custom hooks and props preservation
Feedback welcome
I built this out of my own developer frustration. But I’m sure you’ll break it in better ways than I did
If you have:
Projects to test it on
Features you need before using it in production
Edge cases that fail
Please DM me, open an issue, or just leave a comment.
TL;DR
Migrating manually from Vite to Next.js is tedious
I built ViteToNext.AI to make it automatic
You can try it for free
Would love your feedback
Thanks for reading & happy coding
