Freeze your analysis

PDFs don't change. Perfect for audits, compliance, and version control.

Submit papers & assignments

Turn notebooks into the format your instructor or journal expects.

Drop into docs

Attach to Confluence, Notion, or Drive next to your specs.

No login required to view. Works on every device and OS out of the box.

Four ways to convert IPYNB to PDF

There are four reliable ways to turn a Jupyter notebook into a PDF. One runs in your browser. Three run on your machine and need setup. Here's how each works and when to use it.

2

Use nbconvert from the command line

If you have Jupyter installed, run:

$ jupyter nbconvert --to pdf notebook.ipynb

This produces a LaTeX-typeset PDF, which means you also need a LaTeX distribution like TeX Live or MiKTeX installed. Add --no-input to hide code cells.

No LaTeX? Use the webpdf exporter instead, which renders through a headless browser:

$ pip install "nbconvert[webpdf]"$ jupyter nbconvert --to webpdf --allow-chromium-download notebook.ipynb

The --allow-chromium-download flag fetches the headless browser on first run if none is installed.

Best for: automation, CI pipelines, and batch converting many notebooks.
Trade-off: the LaTeX route fails often on missing packages, special characters, and wide tables. Budget time for debugging the first run.
3

Export from JupyterLab or Jupyter Notebook

In JupyterLab: File → Save and Export Notebook As → PDF.
In classic Jupyter Notebook: File → Download as → PDF via LaTeX.

Both call nbconvert under the hood, so they need LaTeX installed too. If the export fails, a common workaround is exporting to HTML first, then using your browser's print-to-PDF.

Best for: occasional exports when your environment is already set up.
Trade-off: same LaTeX dependency and same failure modes as the command line, with less visibility into what went wrong.
4

Export from VS Code

With the Jupyter extension, open your notebook and use the Export action in the notebook toolbar, then choose PDF. This also relies on nbconvert and a LaTeX installation. Many VS Code users skip the hassle by exporting to HTML and printing to PDF from the browser.

Best for: people who live in VS Code and already have LaTeX installed.
Trade-off: the LaTeX requirement surprises most people the first time.

IPYNB to PDF: with code or without

Pick an export option (default is with code). Every element of the Jupyter notebook, including outputs, markdown, LaTeX, and plots, stays the same.

Quarterly revenue analysis

1. Executive summary

Revenue increased 34% quarter over quarter, driven by expansion of the Enterprise segment. The attached analysis breaks out channel contribution and forecast confidence.

# Load the quarterly data and aggregate by channel
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet('s3://data/revenue_q4.parquet')
summary = df.groupby('channel').revenue.sum()
ChannelRevenue (USD)YoY
Enterprise$12,480,000+41.2%
Mid-market$6,210,000+18.7%
SMB$2,840,000−4.1%
2. Channel contribution

Enterprise remains the leading contributor, now representing 58% of total revenue — up from 51% last quarter.

sns.barplot(data=summary, x='channel', y='revenue', palette='Blues_r')
3. Confidence interval

The forecast confidence interval at 95% assumes the sampling distribution:

σ = σ / √n    ⟹    CI95% = x̄ ± 1.96 · σ

Export WITH code

For tutorials, code reviews, technical handoffs.

  • Every input + output cell visible
  • Syntax highlighting preserved
  • Ideal for teaching and debugging
No jupyter nbconvert --no-input. No editing the notebook. One toggle.

Built for people who ship notebooks

One tool, five different jobs to be done.

Data scientists

Analyses for execs without "just run this notebook." Consider sharing a Deepnote instead, though!

Researchers

Package experiments and results for supervisors and reviewers or attach to your paper.

Educators & students

Convert assignments, lecture notebooks, and lab work into submission-ready PDFs.

Consultants

Deliver polished reports without exposing code or secrets.

ML engineers

Export model cards and eval runs for handoffs and compliance.

Collaboration

Need collaboration,
not a file? Share the notebook live.

PDFs are perfect for fixed deliverables. But for collaboration, a live Deepnote notebook beats any attachment: reviewers re-run cells, leave comments, and always see the latest charts. No more version drift. No "which PDF is final?". No "this worked on my machine". Plus, interactivity with apps.

IPYNB to PDF converter: FAQs

Everything people ask before they upload.

How do I convert an IPYNB file to PDF?
Upload your .ipynb, toggle code on or off, and click Convert to PDF. Deepnote generates a clean PDF you can download.
Is this IPYNB to PDF converter really free?
Yes. Free conversions with no watermark and no credit card.
Do I need Python, Jupyter, nbconvert, or LaTeX installed?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
Can I convert a Jupyter Notebook to PDF without code?
Yes. Turn off "Include code" before converting. You'll keep markdown, plots, tables, and outputs — code cells are hidden.
Does it work with Google Colab notebooks?
Yes. In Colab: File → Download → .ipynb, then drop it here.
Will charts, images, tables, and LaTeX appear in the PDF?
Yes. Notebook outputs, markdown, images, plots, tables, and LaTeX equations are all preserved.
Is it secure?
For sensitive notebooks, share a live Deepnote notebook with access controls instead.
PDF or live notebook — which should I pick?
PDF for anything fixed (emails, archives, submissions). Live notebook for anything collaborative (reviews, iterations, team work).
Can I batch convert multiple IPYNB files?
The free tool handles one at a time. For bulk or automated workflows, use Deepnote's built-in export.
How do I convert IPYNB to PDF without LaTeX?
Two ways. Use this converter, which runs in your browser and needs no installation. Or use nbconvert's webpdf exporter (jupyter nbconvert --to webpdf --allow-chromium-download notebook.ipynb), which renders through a headless browser instead of LaTeX.
How do I save a Jupyter notebook as a PDF?
The fastest way is to upload your .ipynb to this converter and download the PDF. If you work locally, run jupyter nbconvert --to pdf notebook.ipynb (requires LaTeX), or in JupyterLab go to File → Save and Export Notebook As → PDF.
What is an .ipynb file?
An .ipynb file is a Jupyter notebook: a JSON document that stores code cells, markdown text, equations, and outputs like plots and tables in one file. It needs Jupyter or a compatible tool to open, which is why notebooks are usually converted to PDF for sharing.
How do I convert a Jupyter notebook to PDF in JupyterLab?
Go to File → Save and Export Notebook As → PDF. This requires nbconvert and a LaTeX distribution. If the export fails or you don't have LaTeX, upload the .ipynb to this converter instead.
Why does jupyter nbconvert --to pdf fail?
Usually one of three reasons: no LaTeX distribution installed, missing LaTeX packages, or notebook content LaTeX can't handle, like special characters or very wide tables. Fix the missing dependency, try --to webpdf --allow-chromium-download, or use this converter to skip the setup entirely.
How do I export a notebook to PDF in VS Code?
Open the notebook, click Export in the notebook toolbar, and choose PDF. VS Code uses nbconvert and requires LaTeX. If you'd rather not install it, export to HTML and print to PDF from your browser, or drop the .ipynb here.
