About NOTEBOOK files

A .notebook file is a multi-page interactive lesson created with SMART Notebook, the industry-standard software for SMART Board interactive displays. These files act as digital containers holding slides, vector graphics, images, video, and interactive widgets used by teachers to deliver dynamic classroom instruction.

While .notebook files are powerful in the classroom, they pose significant challenges for sharing and archiving. The format is proprietary to SMART Technologies, meaning students, parents, or colleagues without a licensed copy of the software cannot open or view the content. This "lock-in" is a major source of friction for remote learning or when migrating to other hardware providers like Promethean. Furthermore, files can become bloated with embedded media, making them difficult to email.

To overcome these limitations, users should convert .notebook files based on their specific needs:

For Sharing & Print: Convert to PDF. This flattens the slides into a universal document perfect for student handouts or archiving.
For Editing: Convert to PPTX (Microsoft PowerPoint). This preserves the slide structure, though interactive widgets typically become static images.
For Interoperability: Convert to IWB (Common File Format) to use the lesson on non-SMART interactive whiteboards.
For Asset Recovery: Since the internal structure is a ZIP archive, converting (or renaming) to ZIP allows for the extraction of raw images and videos.

Convert.Guru analyzes your NOTEBOOK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted IPYNB, TNOTEBK, FLIPCHART, ONE, NOT, IWB, XBK, ONETOC2, ZIP, TXT, PNG, PDF and DOCX files.
