Clubs replaced the lobby
Unions and agents run thousands of tables inside mobile apps. Players move between clubs and apps every week, and their results end up scattered across all of them.
Mobile club apps don't write hand histories your tracker can read. MergeConverter turns their hand logs into the standard PokerStars text format in seconds. It runs in your browser, so there's no Windows software to install or update.
A big share of today's online poker runs through private clubs on PPPoker, PokerBROS, Suprema Poker and ClubGG. The games are soft and the action never stops, but the apps were built for phones, not for serious study.
Unions and agents run thousands of tables inside mobile apps. Players move between clubs and apps every week, and their results end up scattered across all of them.
Desktop rooms write a text file for every hand. Club apps keep hands inside the app: replays, screenshots and exports in formats no tracker understands.
Without hand histories you lose win-rate graphs, leak finders, population stats and session review: the tools that made you a winning player in the first place.

Point HM3's auto-import at your MergeConverter output folder and new sessions show up in reports and the HUD replayer automatically.
Converted files use the PokerStars text layout, which PT4's "Get Hands from Disk" and folder import read natively.
Import the .txt files or add the output folder to Hand2Note's auto-import list to build stats, ranges and dynamic HUD profiles.
Four steps from phone to database. The first conversion takes about a minute; after that, auto-sync does it for you.
Export hands from the app, your club back office or a hand recorder. Save them as .json or .txt files. Our app pages show where to find them.
Drag files onto the online converter or connect a folder for automatic sync. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn on cloud sync.
Blinds, antes, positions, all-ins, uncalled bets, main and side pots, showdowns and rake are recalculated, so your tracker gets the numbers right.
Download one .txt file or let the tracker auto-import from the output folder. Every club and every app ends up in the same database.
The original MergeConverter was Windows desktop software. The new one is a web tool that keeps up with the apps.
Open a tab and convert. Parsers update on the server side the moment an app changes its log format, with no installers or version mismatches.
The browser converter processes files locally. Your hole cards, screen names and results never leave your machine unless you ask them to.
Connect your log folder and your tracker's import folder once. New sessions are converted on a timer while you play or review.
Uncalled bets, multi-way all-ins, side pots and split pots are recalculated from the action, so all-in EV, win rate and rake stats stay correct.
NLH, PLO and PLO5 cash games, with hands at showdown described the way trackers expect, from high card to royal flush.
Unique hand numbers per app keep PPPoker, PokerBROS, Suprema and ClubGG sessions apart, all in one database with one set of stats.

Holdem Manager 3, PokerTracker 4 and Hand2Note. Output follows the PokerStars hand history layout, so any review tool that imports PokerStars files will accept it too.
No. The converter runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux or a tablet. The tracker itself is the only desktop software you keep.
Not with the free browser converter. Files are parsed by JavaScript on your device and never leave it. The Pro cloud plan stores logs only when you switch on cloud sync, and you can delete them at any time.
In Chrome, Edge or Opera you pick two folders: the one where your hand logs land and your tracker's import folder. MergeConverter checks the first folder on a timer and writes converted files into the second, so the tracker picks them up on its own.
Rules differ between apps, unions and clubs, and many forbid real-time assistance. MergeConverter is built for post-session review and database work. Check your club's rules before you use any third-party software at the table.
MergeConverter started in 2008 as a desktop converter for Carbon Poker and the Merge Network. Those rooms are gone, so the product was rebuilt for the club apps where most of today's traffic plays.
Drop a hand log into the browser converter and download a file your tracker imports straight away.
