Copy HTML from your source: a website, a CMS export, or a template: and paste it into the left panel. The HTML to BBCode converter starts converting immediately.
The right panel shows clean BBCode output in real time. Bold, italic, links, images, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and headings are all converted to standard BBCode tags.
Click 'Copy BBCode' to copy the output, then paste directly into your phpBB, vBulletin, XenForo, or MyBB post editor. Or download as .txt for later use.
When you write content in a CMS or HTML editor and need to post it to a forum, copying HTML directly doesn't work: forum software renders raw tags as literal text. Credify's free HTML to BBCode converter handles the translation instantly: bold becomes [b][/b], links become [url=...][/url], and lists become [list][*][/list].
This HTML to BBCode converter handles all standard inline and block elements. CSS styles are dropped: BBCode has no equivalent for arbitrary colors or fonts beyond basic size tags. If your HTML uses style="" heavily, the output will lose those styles but preserve the structural formatting. Need the output in a different format? Try the HTML to Markdown Converter or Word to HTML Converter. For quote formatting, use the Blockquote Generator.
Free, no signup. Paste HTML, get clean BBCode for any forum in seconds.
