Kiwix is dedicated to providing offline access to educational content.

Kiwix makes knowledge available to people with no or limited Internet access.

Kiwix is an offline reader for content like Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, TED Talks, IFixit... and thousands of others.

Kiwix deals with highly compressed snapshots of Websites that each fit into a single (.zim) file. ZIM files are small enough that they can be stored on users’ mobile phones, computers or small, inexpensive WiFi Hotspot.

Kiwix then acts like a regular Web browser, except that it reads these local copies. People with no or limited internet access can enjoy the same browsing experience as being online.

The name “Kiwix” is a play on the word “Wiki” as it represented our initial goal of making Wikipedia accessible offline.

Kiwix is free and open-source.

  • Revamping of the internal Library
