Wikipedia files
In order to read the Wikipedia articles offline, download the Zim file relating to the specific Wikipedia you want. To view the full list of ZIM files, click on "→ Full list with all languages..." below the table.
There are two kinds of downloads:
- 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 or Linux 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-indexed ZIM files could be copied in the different computers with Windows/Linux operating systems, Mac users may face some 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 Foundation servers.
- Bittorent which downloads the file with a torrent software.
