## Turn a Markdown file with code blocks into a Jupyter notebook

Writing a tutorial or code snippets in Markdown is often easier than working inside a notebook interface, but eventually you may want that content to run as an actual notebook, with cells you execute one by one. This tool takes a Markdown file and rebuilds it as an ipynb notebook, ready to open in a notebook environment.

Start with a single Markdown file, uploaded or pasted straight in. The tool reads your headings and paragraphs and turns them into Markdown cells, while each fenced code block tagged with the notebook's chosen language becomes its own code cell. Before converting, you pick the notebook language from Python, R, Julia, or JavaScript, Python by default; fences tagged with any other language stay inside the surrounding Markdown cell as plain examples, so pick the language your snippets use.

This is useful for turning a written tutorial into something a reader can run step by step, or for moving notes drafted in a plain editor into a notebook workflow without retyping every sample. The tool converts structure and code, so outputs, charts or results need to come from running the new notebook, not appearing automatically. If you already have a notebook you want as plain text instead, use Jupyter Notebook to Markdown. Only one file converts per run, processed on our servers over an encrypted connection and deleted within 60 minutes.

## How to use the Markdown to Jupyter Notebook tool

1. Type or paste your Markdown, or open a .md file.
