What you get

Publishing-quality themes

Academic, Minimal, and Dark themes designed for papers, homework, and reports.

Clean pagination

Code blocks, images, and tables never break mid-page. Headings stay with their content.

Math & code rendering

Full KaTeX math formula support and syntax-highlighted code blocks out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my notebook data safe?

Yes. Parsing and rendering happen in your browser, and this tool does not send notebook content to our server.

Which outputs are supported?

Markdown and code cells are supported, including common outputs like text/plain, image/png, and image/jpeg. Interactive outputs (Plotly/Vega/widgets) are marked as unsupported in static PDF and should be exported as images from the notebook first.

What about HTML outputs in notebooks?

HTML outputs are off by default for security. You can enable 'Render HTML Outputs' for trusted notebooks, and rendered HTML is sanitized before display.

Which browsers work best?

Desktop Chrome and Edge give the most stable print-to-PDF results. Other browsers may work, but layout consistency can vary.

Decision Guide

Choose Your Conversion Path

Fast export (default)

Upload .ipynb, tweak theme, export from browser print dialog.

Best for: Most users, sharing reports quickly, zero setup.

Math typography first

Use LaTeX/XeLaTeX pipelines when strict academic typography is required.

Best for: Thesis/paper submission workflows with strict templates.

Advanced authoring

Use Quarto/nbconvert for heavy customization and reproducible publishing.

Best for: Engineering teams and long-form technical publishing.

Method Comparison

Method	Setup	Math	Interactive	Failure Risk	Recommendation
This web converter	None	Good	Static output only	Low	Yes (default)
nbconvert webpdf	Medium	Good	Depends on runtime rendering	Medium	When CLI workflow is required
nbconvert pdf (LaTeX)	High	Best	Not ideal	Medium/High	For strict print typography
Quarto	Medium/High	Excellent	Custom handling needed	Medium	For advanced publishing

Why Conversion Fails

PDF is blank or partially blank

Cause: Print media CSS conflict or browser print engine issue.

Fix: Use Chrome/Edge desktop. Retry with another theme and disable HTML outputs.

Math formulas look wrong

Cause: Formula blocks rely on KaTeX/LaTeX syntax quality.

Fix: Verify markdown math syntax, or move to LaTeX/XeLaTeX export route.

Interactive charts are missing

Cause: Interactive outputs are not printable in static PDF.

Fix: Export chart as PNG/SVG in notebook, rerun, then export PDF.

Large notebook freezes

Cause: Highlighting and heavy outputs exceed browser memory limits.

Fix: Enable folded outputs, split notebook sections, or disable syntax highlighting.

Recommended Route

Start with this local-first browser converter. If you need strict publication typography, move to Quarto or LaTeX-based export as a second step.

CLI Fallback (When Needed)

Browser-style CLI route

Usually more tolerant for notebooks that fail on LaTeX conversion.

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

LaTeX route (strict typography)

Requires local dependencies such as Pandoc and XeTeX.

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