This article is for the [[WhatIsWiki|wiki site]] that supports the '''Kiwix''' software.
'''Kiwix''' is an offline reader for online content like {{tag|Wikipedia}}, Project Gutenberg, or TED Talks.  It makes knowledge available to people with no or limited [[:Category:Internet|internet]] access.  The [[:Category:Software|software]], as well as the content, is free to use for anyone.  It is potentially suitable for all [[:Category:HTML|HTML]] content.  Kiwix supports the {{tag|ZIM}} format, a highly compressed open file format with additional meta-data.
Kiwix is a {{tag|Nonprofit|non-profit}}, and is {{tag|open source}} and {{tag|free software}}, which means you can freely copy, modify, and distribute it.
Kiwix is mostly installed in [[:Category:School|schools]], [[:Category:University|universities]], and [[:Category:Library|libraries]] which can't afford a [[:Category:Broadband|broadband]] internet access.  It is much faster than the internet, and also can be used by many [[:Category:Institution|institutions]] to save bandwidth and reader's time.  But many people use Kiwix for their own personal purposes, for example, of people suffering from censorship, or prisoners.


Kiwix is an offline reader for web content. It's software intended to make Wikipedia available without using the internet, but it is potentially suitable for all HTML content. Kiwix supports the ZIM format, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.
Kiwix is small and efficient software, usable on lower powered or old computers. It runs on a large range of [[:Category:Operating system|operating systems]]; on [[:Category:Android|Android]], and on the three main PC operating systems: Microsoft [[:Category:Windows|Windows]], Apple [[:Category:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]], and [[:Category:GNU|GNU]] / [[:Category:Linux distribution|Linux distribution]].


Kiwix is free software, which means you can freely copy, modify and distribute it.
Kiwix enables you to have the whole Wikipedia at hand wherever you go!  On a boat, in the middle of nowhere or in jail, Kiwix gives you access to the whole human {{tag|knowledge}}.  You don't need internet, everything is stored on your [[:Category:Computers|computer]], [[:Category:USB|USB]] flash drive, or [[:Category:DVD|DVD]]!


Kiwix is mostly installed in schools, universities and libraries which can't afford a broadband Internet access. It is much faster than the Internet and also can be used by many institutions to save bandwidth and reader's time. But many people use Kiwix for their own personal purposes, for example, of people suffering from censorship or prisoners.
Originally concentrating on Wikipedia, Kiwix now also includes content from {{tag|Wiktionary}}, {{tag|Wikiquote}}, {{tag|Wikibooks}}, {{tag|Wikisource}}, {{tag|Wikinews}}, {{tag|Wikiversity}}, {{tag|Wikivoyage}}, and [[Wikispecies]], along with [https://wiki.Kiwix.org/wiki/Content many more English language websites], along with [https://wiki.Kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages content in many more different languages].


Kiwix is small and efficient software, usable on lower powered or old computers. It runs on a large range of operating systems, on Android and on the three main PC operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and GNU/Linux distribution.
