Download Kiwix !

Kiwix allows you to read files in the ZIM format that are stored on your phone or computer. It is available for all major operating systems, including browser plug-in. Simply choose below what suits you best!

With most versions of Kiwix, you can download content packages from within the application. However, for macOS, Chrome and Firefox, you have to download ZIM files separately.

Windows

Download and unpack Kiwix 2.0 (64 bits) anywhere on your hard drive or on a USB flash drive to use it.

Kiwix JS is a smaller alternative for Windows 10 tablets, phones, PC and Xbox, and can be downloaded from the Windows store or directly from here (sideloading instructions here).

macOS

Download this DMG file, mount it by double clicking, and copy the Kiwix app to your Applications folder.

Kiwix can run on almost every operating system, but we don’t provide pre-compiled binaries for all of them. You may download the source code from our github repositories and compile Kiwix on your own.
