Bring your reports. See what you get before you commit.

Drop a report file from your current tool on this page. It is converted in your browser, opened in the designer and previewed, and every change the importer had to make is listed. If you write PDFs with a code library, the same invoice is shown below in theirs and ours.

01

From a report tool

The four importers are plain JavaScript with no server calls: the same source the ReportWright server uses, bundled for this page. Your file is read with the browser's File API and never uploaded; open the network tab to check. Data sources that run SQL need the ReportWright server, so a SQL-backed report previews its layout with no rows.

No file to hand? Try a sample

Samples are unmodified files from the repository's test corpus: Microsoft's SSRS samples (MIT), JasperReports demos (LGPL-3.0), BIRT samples (EPL-2.0), and our own ActiveReportsJS-format files.

02

What does not carry over yet

From the importers' own warnings and the project's docs (API.md, FEATURES.md). The importer never drops a thing silently: each of these produces a line in the list above. Counts are from the repository's sample corpora.

03

From a PDF library: the same invoice

One invoice: a title, a customer, three lines, a total. The ReportWright side is run by scripts/check-switch-snippets.mjs against @reportwright/engine and the report below is that same definition. The other libraries' code is written from their public documentation and was not run for this page.

Ours: @reportwright/engine

        

        
Checked: the snippet renders one A4 page, writes a PDF, and the page model holds the total 2,432.00.

Moving from code: what to know

      
There is no converter from code to a definition: you rewrite the layout once, as data. Honest list of what that costs and what stays missing.
