PyCharm 2025.3.2 Adds Google Colab Support as Core Feature
JetBrains' PyCharm IDE now includes free Google Colab integration, allowing developers to combine local IDE workflows with cloud-hosted notebook execution.
JetBrains released PyCharm 2025.3.2 in January 2026 with Google Colab support now available as a free core feature. This integration bridges local development workflows with cloud-based computational resources, allowing developers to work with Jupyter notebooks running on Google's infrastructure directly from the IDE.
Seamless Colab Integration
To use the feature, developers open a Jupyter notebook in PyCharm and select "Google Colab (Beta)" from the Jupyter server menu in the top-right corner. The IDE handles file synchronization automatically, prompting users to upload missing dependencies from their local environment to the Colab machine when needed. The remote file structure appears in the Project tool window, enabling developers to browse directories and inspect files as they work.
Combining Local and Cloud Workflows
The update streamlines development by combining PyCharm's advanced IDE features—including code navigation, refactoring, and debugging—with scalable cloud execution. This reduces friction between local and remote workflows, particularly for data science and machine learning projects that require significant computational resources. The integration works alongside PyCharm's existing basic Jupyter notebook support.
