IPYNB to PDF,
notebook in, PDF out.

An IPYNB file is a Jupyter notebook: a JSON document that stores a session as an ordered list of code, markdown and raw cells, together with every code cell's outputs. The same .ipynb file is used by Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, Google Colab, Kaggle, Deepnote and the Jupyter extension in VS Code, so it opens on almost any machine or in the browser.

IPYNB stands for IPython Notebook. The extension .ipynb was introduced by IPython, the interactive Python shell whose notebook feature grew into Project Jupyter — which is why the file type is still called IPYNB even though today's application is Jupyter Notebook and the kernel behind it can be Python, R, Julia, SQL or JavaScript.

Google Colab has no export button for PDF, so you export through the browser: open File → Print and choose save as PDF as the destination. For a properly paginated document instead, use File → Download → .ipynb to save the notebook, then convert that copy to PDF here, where figures, tables and long outputs are measured and kept whole.

Use the converter at the top of this page: choose or drop in your .ipynb file, set the page size, orientation and which elements belong on the page, check where the pages break, then download the PDF. Parsing, layout and rasterising run in your browser, so the notebook is never uploaded and no sign-up is involved.

Converting IPYNB to PDF online means the work happens in a web page rather than a terminal. Here it runs entirely in JavaScript: the file is read with the browser's File API, laid out at the width of the printed page and drawn into a PDF you download. Because nothing is uploaded, converting IPYNB to PDF online also works while offline.

Saving a notebook as PDF is the same as converting it. Open the .ipynb file in the converter, choose the page options — A4 or US letter, portrait or landscape, light or dark pages, code and outputs on or off — then download the PDF, or use print → save as PDF when you need selectable, searchable text.

Exporting an IPYNB file as PDF gives you a fixed, shareable version of the notebook. Choose the file, review the paginated preview and download: syntax-highlighted code with in[] and out[] prompts, full-resolution plots, tables split at row boundaries and LaTeX math, with the notebook name and page number in the footer.

The Jupyter extension in VS Code exports HTML, Python scripts and .ipynb files, not PDFs. To save IPYNB as PDF from a notebook open in VS Code, right-click and export to HTML and print that page to PDF; or run jupyter nbconvert in the VS Code terminal if a LaTeX toolchain is installed; or drop the .ipynb file into this converter, which needs no install.

Exporting IPYNB as PDF in VS Code is not a command the Jupyter extension ships, so the practical routes are: the command palette export to HTML followed by print → save as PDF; jupyter nbconvert --to pdf from the integrated terminal, which needs pandoc plus TeX Live, MacTeX or MiKTeX; or a browser converter like this one that previews the page breaks first.

Turning an .ipynb file into a PDF means rendering cells designed for a scrolling screen onto fixed pages. Drop the notebook into the converter, choose the page setup and convert: every block is measured before it is drawn, so a heading is never stranded at the foot of a page and a wide table is scaled instead of clipped.

To save a .ipynb file as PDF, open it in the converter, convert, then download the finished document. The notebook stays on your device throughout — it is parsed and rasterised in the tab — and the PDF arrives with no watermark, a title block on page one, and the file name and page number in the running footer.

Converting an IPYNB to PDF takes four steps: parse the cells and their outputs, lay them out at the width of the printed page, draw each block, and assemble the pages. Every converter does those steps, and the differences show up in the result; here they all happen locally, so nothing is queued and nothing is uploaded.

Downloading an IPYNB file as a PDF is a convert-then-save job: pick the notebook, set the page options, then use the download button — the PDF is generated in the browser and saved straight to your downloads folder. If you would rather have text you can select and search, use print → save as PDF instead.

Choose the IPYNB file with the file browser, or drag it anywhere onto this page, and the conversion starts immediately. Notebooks saved by Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, Colab, Kaggle, Deepnote and VS Code all work: nbformat 4, plus the older nbformat 3 files that keep cells under worksheets.

Colab cannot write a PDF by itself. Inside Colab, File → Print and choose save as PDF — quick, with selectable text and browser-chosen page breaks. For a controlled result, use File → Download → .ipynb to get the notebook, then convert it here, where long outputs and figures are measured and kept together.

Exporting IPYNB to PDF with this tool is a browser job: no Python, no LaTeX, no nbconvert. Open the notebook, pick A4 or letter in portrait or landscape, choose which elements belong on the page, and download. The same settings applied to the same notebook always produce the same PDF.

The command-line route is jupyter nbconvert --to pdf notebook.ipynb, which converts through LaTeX and needs pandoc plus TeX Live, MacTeX or MiKTeX installed before it will run — missing them is the usual cause of the "xelatex not found" error. The browser route needs none of that: open the notebook here, review the pagination and download.

To save a Jupyter notebook as PDF, convert it into a file you can keep: download the PDF from the converter after checking the preview, or use the browser print → save as PDF destination when you want vector text that can be selected and searched rather than an image of each block.

A Colab notebook lives in the cloud, so saving one as PDF starts with getting the file: File → Download → .ipynb, then convert the notebook to PDF in the browser. You can also print the notebook from Colab with File → Print and save as PDF, which is faster but leaves the page breaks to the print dialog.

Downloading a notebook as PDF is the last step of a conversion: convert the .ipynb file first, then use the download button for an exact, paginated PDF, or print the laid-out document through the browser when selectable text matters more than pixel-perfect plots.

Exporting a Jupyter notebook as PDF is the job nbconvert does on the command line and this converter does in the browser. Both produce a PDF of the notebook; only one needs a TeX installation. If you want to see where the pages will break before committing to the file, convert in the browser.

Open the notebook file in the converter, adjust the page settings and download the PDF — that is the whole process, and it works for notebooks from Jupyter, Colab, Kaggle, Deepnote or VS Code. Markdown becomes document typography, code keeps its syntax colours, and outputs are placed whole instead of cut in half.

An IPYNB notebook converts to PDF like any other notebook file: choose the file, convert, download. Long conversions can be cancelled at any point, very large notebooks are limited only by your device memory, and the finished PDF carries the notebook name and page number rather than any branding or watermark.
