Convert Jupyter Notebook to Markdown
Drop in a Jupyter notebook and get clean Markdown back in a few seconds. The text cells, code and structure come through ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool, or to feed your RAG pipeline. It runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
How to convert a notebook to Markdown
- 1
Add your notebook
Drag an .ipynb file onto the box above, or click to pick one from your computer.
- 2
Let it convert
The tool reads the notebook in your browser and turns its cells into Markdown. Most notebooks finish in a few seconds.
- 3
Copy or download
Copy the Markdown with one click, or save a .md file, then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool.
Why convert a notebook before sending it to AI
A .ipynb file is JSON underneath. Every cell carries fields for metadata, output, execution counts and escaped source lines, so the file says far more than the notebook shows. An AI reads all of that and pays for it. Markdown keeps the prose and the code and drops the wrapper. A notebook often loses around 40 percent of its token count, so you pay less and the model reads the work instead of the file format.
Text and code, not the plots
You get the Markdown cells and the code from each cell, in their original order, so the flow of the analysis still reads top to bottom. Rendered output like charts, images and interactive widgets is left out, since the result is text for AI rather than a copy of the notebook.
Jupyter Notebook to Markdown questions
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no limits, no cost. Convert as many notebooks as you want.
Do my notebooks get uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device and its contents are never sent to a server.
What gets pulled from the notebook?
The Markdown cells and the code in each cell, in their original order. You get the explanation and the code that goes with it, ready to read as plain Markdown.
Are charts and images included?
No. Rendered plots, images and widgets are left out. You get the text and code, which is what an AI model reads.
Why convert instead of sharing the .ipynb?
A raw notebook is verbose JSON that buries the content in metadata and escaped strings. Markdown hands a model the notes and code directly, which is easier to read and cheaper to send.
How big a notebook can I convert?
Up to 15 MB. Notebooks with large embedded output can be big, so clearing the output first gives a smaller, cleaner result.
