Frequently Asked Questions
How to convert Jupyter Notebook to Python (3 Ways)?
For beginners, the easiest way is to use our online Jupyter Notebook to Python converter – it works directly in your browser without extra setup.
More advanced users can also export a notebook as a Python file directly in
the Jupyter Notebook interface, or use the nbconvert command
in the console for full control.
A detailed explanation of all three methods can be found in our step-by-step tutorial .
How to convert IPYNB to PY in VS Code?
To convert an .ipynb file in VS Code, you first need to install the
Jupyter extension from Microsoft. Once installed, open your notebook in VS Code.
In the notebook toolbar, click on the three dots menu (More Options)
and choose Export → Python File. This will save your notebook as a
.py script.
Why convert IPYNB to PY?
Converting a Jupyter Notebook to Python makes it easier to run code without Jupyter. It’s useful for automation, production scripts, sharing with colleagues, or integrating code into larger projects.
What is the difference between IPYNB and PY files?
An .ipynb file is a Jupyter Notebook, which contains code, text, and outputs
in JSON format. A .py file is a plain Python script with only code (and comments).
Converting helps to use the same code outside of Jupyter.
Why is this converter safe?
The conversion happens fully in your browser. Your .ipynb file
is never uploaded or stored on any server. This makes it private and secure
compared to online services that process files in the cloud.
How to Convert Without an Online Tool
1. Using the Terminal
You can use Jupyter’s built-in command-line tool to convert Jupyter Notebook to Python:
jupyter nbconvert --to python your_notebook.ipynb
2. Inside Jupyter Notebook
Open your notebook, click on File →
Save and Export Notebook As… → Executable Script.
This will save your .ipynb file as a .py script.
