[?]What is a Wolfram Mathematica Notebook (.nb) file?
A Mathematica Notebook (.nb) is the native computational notebook format created by Wolfram Research for Mathematica and Wolfram One. It stores interactive computational experiments, symbolic algebra derivations, formatted documentation, and program code in structured hierarchical Cell expression trees.
[?]How does convrtr translate Mathematica formulas and cells?
convrtr analyzes the Wolfram box language (BoxData, RowBox, SuperscriptBox, FractionBox, SqrtBox), converts Wolfram special characters (such as Greek letters and mathematical operators) into clean Unicode symbols, formats sections and headings into Markdown headers, and wraps computations into highlighted code blocks.
[?]Are my scientific notebooks and proprietary algorithms kept private?
Completely private. All parsing, symbol translation, and Markdown rendering take place locally inside your browser sandbox. No notebook data is ever sent to external cloud servers.
[?]Why convert from NB to MD?
NB Document (NB) and Markdown Document (MD) serve distinct roles across the digital workflow. Converting to MD provides optimized compatibility, modern compression efficiency, or standardized playback across web browsers, operating systems, and media production environments.
[?]Is the NB to MD conversion lossless or lossy?
The output format (MD) is inherently lossless or supports lossless operation. Your original visual or audio fidelity is mathematically preserved without quantization artifacts.
[?]Does convrtr upload my files to any cloud server?
Never. convrtr is architected with a strict zero-upload model. All processing, decoding, decompression, and encoding happen 100% locally on your machine using sandboxed WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your data never touches an external server, database, or analytics collector.
[?]How can I convert NB to MD from the terminal / command line?
You can execute this conversion locally via command-line utilities such as ffmpeg, cwebp, or ImageMagick. For example: see the developer terminal recipe provided in the technical specifications dossier above. convrtr provides the identical local-first capability directly inside your browser without installing CLI packages.
[?]Can I batch convert multiple NB files to MD simultaneously?
Yes. You can drop multiple .nb files into the instrument to process them concurrently in browser Web Workers, or click 'Open in Master Studio' to queue mixed formats, configure individual targets, and export as a single ZIP archive.
