Convert BBCode to Markdown.
Drop a BBCode post and get clean, portable Markdown in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Drag & drop your files

Optimize for AI & RAG
Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.
Add YAML front matter
Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.
Add table of contents
Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.
Export RAG chunks (.json)
Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.
Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.
Forum tags,
set in plain text.
BBCode only lives inside the forum that renders it. Paste it anywhere else and you see raw [b] and [url] brackets. Converting turns those tags into clean, portable Markdown.

Everything you
actually need.
Forum BBCode in, clean Markdown out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
The .bbcode file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.
Visual tags reduced
Colour, size, font and alignment tags fall away while the words inside them stay.
Unicode safe
Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.
Free, and unlimited
No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.
What survives
the trip.
Meaningful tags become real Markdown. Purely visual ones are reduced to their inner text, so the words always survive even when the styling does not. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for BBCode, so the page never drifts from what the converter does.
