What carries over from .ipynb to .docx?

Structure maps across: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables, code blocks, and inline emphasis. Anything that depends on the source presentation layer can be simplified or dropped, including page layout, fonts and colors, comments and tracked changes, and deeply nested or merged tables. Review those areas before you publish the result.

What are the file limits?

Accepted file types are .ipynb. Each file must be 50 MB or smaller.

Is my content private?

Processed on mdedit.ai servers. Uploaded files are stored in a private S3 bucket (not publicly readable). Uploads use signed URLs, and results are provided via time-limited signed download links. Files are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Details

What's preserved

This converter turns your notebook into an editable Word document that works well for reviews and sharing.

Markdown cells: headings, paragraphs, lists, and inline formatting.
Code blocks: rendered as code in the output document.
Outputs: common cell outputs (including plots/images) are included as static content.

If your notebook relies on interactive widgets or dynamic outputs, expect those to be exported as static results.

Best results

Keep headings consistent (H1/H2/H3) so the Word outline is clean.
Clear noisy outputs (very large tables/logs) before exporting.
If you need a web-friendly share link instead of an editable doc, export to HTML.

Common issues

Huge outputs can make Word files heavy. Consider trimming outputs or exporting to ZIP/HTML first.
Fonts/theme differences: Word rendering may differ from the notebook theme.
Long notebooks: split into sections (or export to PDF) if you need a print-ready deliverable.

Alternatives (and when to use this)

Popular notebook export options include nbconvert and Pandoc. This online tool is useful when you want a quick, shareable DOCX without setting up a local toolchain.
