Safe output
HTML typed in the post is shown as text, and only web and email links are kept, so the converted post cannot run scripts.

THREE SMALL STEPS
How to convert BBCode to HTML
-
01
Paste the BBCode
Paste a forum post or signature, or load the example to see how the tags work.
-
02
Check the preview
The converted post appears as it will look on a web page, and the HTML updates as you type.
-
03
Copy the HTML
Copy the markup into your website, blog or email template, or download it as an HTML file.
Good to know
Unclosed tags are closed
A tag without its closing tag is closed automatically, and unknown tags stay in the result as plain text.
Images in the preview
Images from [img] tags load from their own websites in the preview, so those websites can see your IP address.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Can I preview converted BBCode before copying the HTML?
Yes. Paste the forum markup to see the HTML and its preview. Unsupported tags may remain as text. Check the result before inserting it into your site, since forum-specific extensions can differ from the supported tags.
Which BBCode tags are supported?
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, links, images, quotes with an author, code blocks, bulleted and numbered lists, color, size from 1 to 7 and text alignment.
How are line breaks converted?
Each line break becomes a <br> tag, except right after quotes, lists and code blocks, which already start on a new line.
How do I make a numbered list?
Use [list=1] instead of [list], and start each item with [*].
