.htaccess → Nginx Converter

Paste your Apache .htaccess rules and get the nginx.conf equivalent - rewrite rules, redirects, headers, caching, auth, and file protections - each with an honest note on where nginx does it differently. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

YOUR .HTACCESS

live conversion as you type

NGINX CONFIG

Honest scope: this is a directive-by-directive translator, not a compiler. It maps what it recognises and tells you where nginx genuinely differs (if() limits, no RewriteCond, add_header inheritance). Unrecognised lines are carried over as comments - never invented. Always test with nginx -t before reloading.

WHAT CHANGED & WHY

no server · your config never leaves this device · completes the config cluster: generator + bulk redirects + converter + explainer · always run nginx -t before reload
Nginx Config Generator Build a server block from scratch, TLS and presets included. .htaccess Generator Generate the Apache rules first, then convert them. Config Explainer Read any nginx block back in plain English. Bulk 301 Redirect Generator Clean redirect tables before converting them.

>_ FAQ

How do I convert an Apache RewriteRule to nginx?

Apache RewriteRule becomes the nginx rewrite directive. nginx matches the full request URI (with a leading slash) while Apache matched relative to the .htaccess directory, so the pattern needs a leading /. [R=301] becomes permanent, [R=302] becomes redirect, and [L] becomes last inside a location block.

Does nginx support RewriteCond?

No. nginx has no RewriteCond - you fold the condition into the rewrite regex, use an if() block (which is intentionally limited: no nesting and few operators), or split into separate server blocks. The converter flags every RewriteCond with the recommended approach.

Is the converted config ready to deploy?

Use it as a strong first draft, then always run nginx -t before reloading. The tool is a directive-by-directive translator, not a compiler - it tells you honestly where it had to approximate and carries unrecognised lines over as comments rather than inventing mappings.
