Convert BBCode to HTML
Convert BBCode to HTML locally in your browser.
Tool workspace
Convert BBCode to HTML in your browser. Practical subset (bold, italic, urls, quotes, lists, code). Result is HTML source — not injected into the page. Nothing you paste is uploaded.
How it works
Paste BBCode, then Convert.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with a practical BBCode subset: [b]/[i]/[u]/[s], [url]/[url=…], [img], [quote]/[quote=author], [code], and [list]/[list=1] with [*] items. Tags are case-insensitive. HTML special characters in text are escaped. Link and image URLs are limited to safe schemes. The result is HTML source in the output box — it is never injected into the page or uploaded.
Empty input clears the result—no error. This is not a full phpBB, Discourse, or vBulletin BBCode implementation.
