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:

  1. Copy a full hand history from PokerStars (or your tracker such as Hold'em Manager or PokerTracker).
  2. Paste it into the box above and hit Convert hand.
  3. 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?
