Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert HTML to BBCode?

Many forums and bulletin boards don't support direct HTML input for security reasons but do support BBCode. Converting your HTML content to BBCode allows you to share richly formatted web content on forums while preserving most of the formatting and structure.

Are CSS styles preserved in the conversion?

The converter extracts and translates common inline styles like text color, size, and alignment to their BBCode equivalents. However, complex CSS properties don't have BBCode counterparts and will be omitted during conversion.

How are complex HTML elements handled?

Complex elements like tables, lists, and nested structures are carefully parsed and converted to equivalent BBCode. The converter maintains proper tag nesting and hierarchical relationships to ensure the output remains structurally similar to the original HTML.

Is the conversion secure?

Yes, the conversion process happens entirely in your browser. No HTML or BBCode data is sent to any server, ensuring your content remains completely private. The tool uses the browser's built-in capabilities to safely parse and transform your HTML.
