0.9 alpha1 version screenshot (screencast)

Kiwix is an offline reader for Web content. It's especially intended to make Wikipedia available offline (see features). With Kiwix, you can enjoy Wikipedia on a boat, in the middle of nowhere... or in Jail. Kiwix manages to do that by reading ZIM files, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.

Kiwix uses the Mozilla framework and is available in more than 80 languages. It has full text search, tabbed navigation and possibility to export articles to PDF and HTML.

Kiwix is a free software (GPL3), that means you can freely copy, modify and spread it.

Wikipedia files

In order to read the Wikipedia articles offline, download the Zim file relating to the specific Wikipedia you want. There are several languages of Wikipedia available in the below table with their size and last-date update. For example, the English Wikipedia have been marked with a green color and there are two versions available for it. The first has 45000 pictured Good Articles till 2010 and the second has the whole articles without any images. (This information is clarified for every Zim file in the Number of articles column)

There are two options to download:

  • non-indexed ZIM contains only a ZIM file and you may want to index it to be able to use the fulltext search.
  • Portable Pre-indexed ZIM contains Kiwix application only for Windows with an indexed ZIM file. So you should download the Kiwix reader from the previous section if you're not a Windows user. The ZIM file may be split into several 2 gigabytes parts to be compatible with FAT32 filesystems.

Note: The Pre-index ZIM files could be copied in the different computers with Windows/Linux operating systems, Mac users may face with problems.

Note: There are two options to download for each non-indexed and pre-indexed versions:

  • Direct download which downloads the file directly from Wikimedia servers.
  • Bittorent which downloads the file with a torrent software.
