Nginx equivalent
How it works
- Paste your .htaccess file contents.
- Each line is matched against known Apache directive patterns and translated to its Nginx equivalent.
- Lines with no direct equivalent are flagged separately so nothing silently disappears.
FAQ
What directives does this convert?
The most common ones: HTTPS redirects, RewriteRule patterns, plain Redirect/Redirect 301, ErrorDocument, and Options ±Indexes. It covers the directives most sites actually use, not the full Apache config language.
What happens to directives it doesn't recognize?
They're skipped and listed in a warning below the output, so you know exactly which lines need manual translation instead of silently dropping them.
Is the output guaranteed to work as-is?
No — always test the generated config in a staging Nginx environment before deploying. Rewrite logic in particular can behave subtly differently between Apache and Nginx.
Is my config file sent anywhere?
No — parsing and conversion happen entirely in your browser with pattern matching, nothing is uploaded.
