Sharing and Exporting Notebooks

Duration: 5 min

Share your Jupyter notebooks with collaborators and export them for different purposes.

Exporting Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks can be exported to multiple formats for sharing and presentation.

# Export to HTML (for viewing in browser)
jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb

# Export to PDF (for printing)
jupyter nbconvert --to pdf notebook.ipynb

# Export to Python script
jupyter nbconvert --to script notebook.ipynb

# Export to Markdown
jupyter nbconvert --to markdown notebook.ipynb

Try it in Google Colab:

Sharing Notebooks

• GitHub - Push notebooks to GitHub for version control and sharing
• Jupyter Hub - Host notebooks on a server for team access
• nbviewer - Share read-only notebooks via nbviewer.jupyter.org
• Google Colab - Upload notebooks to Colab for cloud-based collaboration

Best Practices

• Clear cell outputs before sharing (Cell → All Output → Clear)
• Add markdown cells explaining your analysis
• Use descriptive variable names
• Include comments in code cells
• Test the notebook from top to bottom before sharing

💡 Tip: Always test your notebook by restarting the kernel and running all cells to ensure it works for others.
