The '''openZIM''' project proposes offline storage solutions for content coming from the Web. The project has two different targets:
* Definition of the [[ZIM file format]]: an open and standardized file format,
* Implementation of the [[libzim]]: an open source ([https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html GPLv2]) implementation of the ZIM file format.


The ZIM file format was created to provide a standard way to make webcontent offline available. Its major usage is to provide Wikipedia content offline, like in Wikipedia DVDs.

ZIM is a perfectly suited file format to store Wikipedia on a USB stick

The openZIM project proposes offline storage solutions for content coming from the Web. The project has two different targets:

  • Definition of the ZIM file format: an open and standardized file format,
  • Implementation of the libzim: an open source (GPLv2) implementation of the ZIM file format.

See our mission statement for more details.

The openZIM project was launched by Wikimedia CH (Switzerland) and is actively maintained by Kiwix and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
