Details
What's preserved
HTML exports are great for sharing notebooks as static web pages.
- Markdown + code cells are rendered into a single HTML document.
- Outputs (including images/plots) are included as static content.
Interactive notebook behavior (widgets, live kernels) won’t be interactive in a static HTML export.
Best results
- Prefer shorter, readable outputs (collapse huge logs/tables before export).
- Add clear headings so the exported page is easy to scan.
- If you need an editable deliverable, export to DOCX instead.
Common issues
- Large outputs can produce very large HTML files.
- Embedded assets: some notebooks reference external assets; verify links after export.
- Styling differences: HTML styling may differ from your notebook UI theme.
Alternatives (and when to use this)
You can export HTML locally with nbconvert. This tool is useful when you want a fast shareable HTML file from any device (no local setup).

FAQ
- What carries over from .ipynb to .html?
- 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.
