Jupyter Notebook Conversion

Build Status (image) Documentation Status (image)

The nbconvert tool, jupyter nbconvert, converts notebooks to various other formats via [Jinja] templates. The nbconvert tool allows you to convert an .ipynb notebook file into various static formats including:

HTML
LaTeX
PDF
Reveal JS
Markdown (md)
ReStructured Text (rst)
executable script

Usage

From the command line, use nbconvert to convert a Jupyter notebook (input) to a a different format (output). The basic command structure is:

$ jupyter nbconvert --to &lt;output format&gt; &lt;input notebook&gt;

where <output format> is the desired output format and <input notebook> is the filename of the Jupyter notebook.

Example: Convert a notebook to HTML

Convert Jupyter notebook file, mynotebook.ipynb, to HTML using:

``` $ jupyter...

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

nbconvert converts Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files) to multiple static formats including HTML, LaTeX, PDF, Markdown, and executable scripts via Jinja templates.

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. Active maintenance status and 15 well-established runtime dependencies suggest stable, production-ready tooling.

BSD 3-Clause License permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; attribution and license text retention required in redistributions.

Usage

pip install nbconvert
jupyter nbconvert --to html mynotebook.ipynb

pandoc must be installed separately (system package, not PyPI) for PDF and some other output formats.

Verdict: nbconvert is a mature, actively maintained tool from the Jupyter project with permissive licensing and low install friction. No known vulnerabilities and broad format support make it a reliable choice for notebook conversion workflows.

Needs verification

Whether all 15 runtime dependencies are strictly required or if some are optional for specific output formats.
Specific Python 3.x versions tested beyond the >=3.9 requirement.
Performance characteristics or memory constraints for large notebooks.
