BBCode to HTML

What is BBCode?

BBCode is a lightweight markup used on forums and comment systems to add formatting with simple tags like [b], [i], [quote], [url], and [img]. This converter parses common BBCode safely and returns clean HTML you can paste into blogs, docs, or previews.

Safe conversion and supported tags

The parser supports essentials like bold, italic, underline, strike, quote, code, URL, image, color, and size. Unsafe links (javascript:, data:) are rejected, and HTML is escaped where needed so you can safely reuse the output. For complex user content, review the HTML before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this converter run in the browser?

Yes. Conversion happens locally—your BBCode and HTML are not sent to a server.

Which BBCode tags are supported?

Core tags: [b], [i], [u], [s], [quote], [code], [url], [img], [color], and [size]. Unsupported tags surface a readable error so you can fix the markup.

Can I keep code blocks intact?

Yes. Content inside [code]...[/code] is preserved verbatim and wrapped in <pre><code> for readability.

How do I export the HTML?

Copy the output or download it as a TXT file. You can then paste it into blog editors, docs, or email templates.

What if my BBCode has errors?

The converter highlights syntax issues (like mismatched tags) so you can correct them before exporting.
