Why is exporting a notebook to PDF so painful?

The official path is nbconvert, which routes your notebook through LaTeX. That means installing a TeX distribution, then debugging Pandoc and font errors that have nothing to do with your analysis. On Google Colab, "Print to PDF" clips wide output and drops cell results entirely.

This converter parses the .ipynb JSON directly and renders it the way you see it in the notebook: Markdown cells as formatted prose, code cells with syntax highlighting, LaTeX rendered as real math, and cell output — text, tables, matplotlib charts and images — kept in place.

How to convert

  1. Choose your .ipynbExport it from Jupyter, JupyterLab, VS Code or Colab and drop it here.
  2. Notebook is renderedCells are laid out in order with highlighting and math typesetting applied.
  3. Check the previewConfirm the code, charts and output all landed where you expect.
  4. Download the PDFA paginated A4 PDF, ready to submit, print or attach.

Features

  • Markdown cells with headings, lists, links and tables
  • Syntax-highlighted code cells
  • LaTeX math rendered with KaTeX, inline and display
  • Embedded PNG output, including matplotlib charts
  • Text output, stdout and error tracebacks preserved
  • Execution counts kept next to each cell

Use cases

Submitting an assignmentMost courses want a PDF. Export once, submit, without installing a TeX distribution.
Sharing analysis with non-developersA PDF opens everywhere, and nobody needs a Python environment to read your results.
Archiving a resultFreeze a notebook run as a document, so the numbers stay readable after the kernel is gone.

Supported files

Notebook format v4 .ipynb files from Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, VS Code and Google Colab, in any language kernel — Python, R, Julia, Scala. Interactive widgets and Plotly output that only exist as live JavaScript cannot be captured as static output.

Privacy

Notebooks routinely contain API keys, database strings and unpublished research. Nothing here is uploaded: the JSON is parsed and the PDF is built entirely inside your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need LaTeX or nbconvert installed?

No. Nothing is installed at all. This is the main reason the tool exists — everything happens in the browser.

Are matplotlib charts included?

Yes. Charts are stored as PNG output inside the .ipynb file, so they are embedded directly into the PDF.

Is my code syntax highlighted?

Yes, using highlight.js with the notebook kernel language, so Python, R and Julia all render correctly.

What about LaTeX equations in Markdown cells?

Both inline $...$ and display $$...$$ math are typeset with KaTeX before the PDF is produced.

Will very wide code lines be cut off?

No. Long lines wrap rather than being clipped at the page edge, which is the usual failure mode of print-to-PDF.

Does it work with Google Colab notebooks?

Yes. Use File then Download .ipynb in Colab, and drop the file here.
