Migrate MATLAB to Open-Source Python

Converting MATLAB to Python eliminates expensive licensing costs while accessing Python's vast open-source ecosystem. Our AI converter automatically translates MATLAB's matrix operations to NumPy, signal processing to SciPy, and plotting to Matplotlib. Whether you're migrating academic research code, moving corporate analytics to Python, or building reproducible data pipelines, the converter produces NumPy-based Python code that performs equivalently to MATLAB. Perfect for researchers sharing code publicly, companies reducing software costs, or data scientists integrating MATLAB algorithms into Python ML workflows. The converter handles MATLAB-specific syntax like colon operators, array slicing, and vectorized operations, transforming them into idiomatic NumPy code.

Conversion Features

Matrix Operations to NumPy

Converts MATLAB matrices to NumPy ndarrays. Element-wise operations (.*, ./), matrix multiplication (*), transpose ('), and linear algebra functions (inv, eig, svd) all map to NumPy equivalents. Supports multidimensional arrays and broadcasting.

Plotting to Matplotlib

Transforms plot(), scatter(), surf(), and figure() to Matplotlib pyplot functions. Subplots, axis labels, titles, legends, and styling all convert directly. 3D plotting uses mplot3d toolkit.

Signal Processing to SciPy

Converts fft(), filter(), conv(), and signal processing toolbox functions to scipy.signal and scipy.fft equivalents. Handles frequency analysis, filtering, and spectral analysis operations.

Vectorization Preserved

Maintains MATLAB's vectorized style using NumPy's broadcasting and vectorized operations. Avoids slow Python loops, keeping computational efficiency comparable to MATLAB.

Common Conversions

Array Indexing

MATLAB's 1-based indexing becomes Python's 0-based indexing. A(1:5) becomes A[0:5], end becomes -1, and colon operator : works similarly for slicing.

Functions

MATLAB function files become Python def statements. Multiple return values use tuple unpacking. nargin/nargout convert to default parameter values and multiple return statements.

Cell Arrays and Structs

Cell arrays convert to Python lists. Structs become dictionaries or dataclasses. Fieldnames access becomes dictionary key access or attribute access.

FAQs

How are MATLAB matrices converted to Python?

MATLAB matrices become NumPy arrays. All matrix operations translate to NumPy equivalents - element-wise operations, matrix multiplication (@), slicing, and broadcasting work similarly in NumPy.

What happens to MATLAB plots?

MATLAB plotting functions (plot, scatter, surf) convert to Matplotlib equivalents. Figure/subplot structure, axis labels, titles, and legends all map directly to Matplotlib pyplot functions.

Can it convert Simulink models?

The converter handles MATLAB code but not visual Simulink models. For Simulink, export generated code or manually recreate logic using Python scientific libraries like SciPy and control system packages.
