Hello Guys,

I'm looking for an api, it can convert .ipynb files to .png or .jpg files. I've seen nbconvert but it has all exporting options except jpg or jpeg. can anyone please suggest me how to convert .ipynb to png or jpg.

I just want to cerate thumbnail from ipynb, tried slides.html it is good but again I've to convert to the image. Thanks

Sorry I missed this question when you posted. Generally nbconvert doesn't support direct image conversion. What could be done is to translate to pdf / html and then use another process to convert that to an image.

In theory we could create a preprocessor that does this transformation though I'd like to get the pdf conversion cleaned up before we did any extensions to that.
