The PokerStrategy.com Poker Hand Converter lets you save your hand histories online and convert the data into an easy to use format, which you may recognise from the forums.

The web based converter can be used to save hands from all major poker platforms, which saves you the hassle of using several different hand history programs.

... submit a sample hand to be analysed in the PokerStrategy.com forum, or for discussion in any of the other forums.
... exchange saved hands with friends over messenger services such as Skype or ICQ.
... manage hand histories in an online data bank, which can be accessed from any computer.
... watch video animations of saved hands with the integrated hand replayer.

You can submit saved hands to almost every poker forum with a direct link or by simply copy/pasting.
