How to convert a poker hand history
A hand history is the plain-text record your poker client writes after every hand. It is accurate but hard to read and ugly to share. A poker hand converter reformats that raw text into a clean replay — with seats, positions, pot sizes on each street and colour-coded suit symbols — so other players can follow the action at a glance.
Using HandConverter takes seconds:
- Copy a full hand history from PokerStars (or your tracker such as Hold'em Manager or PokerTracker).
- Paste it into the box above and hit Convert hand.
- Switch between the Replay, Forum, Text and HTML tabs, then copy the format you need.
Everything happens locally in your browser — your hands are never uploaded. When you want to dig deeper into a spot, drop the same hand into the poker odds calculator or review the relevant concepts in DeucesCracked's poker strategy guides.
Which formats can I share?
The Forum tab gives you a readable, suit-symbol layout that pastes cleanly into poker forums and Discord. The Text tab is plain ASCII (As, Kh) for maximum compatibility. The HTML tab outputs a self-contained, styled block you can embed straight into a blog post or coaching site.
Supported poker sites
HandConverter reads the PokerStars hand-history format, covering cash games, Zoom and tournaments with antes. Because many rooms export PokerStars-compatible histories, hands from a wide range of sites convert correctly too. New to choosing where to play?
