OpenZIM is the project managing the file format that powers the Kiwix offline reader - enabling millions around the world to browse copies of their favourite websites without any connectivity. OpenZIM's main purpose is to build content scrapers for Wikipedia, Youtube, Gutenberg and many more, and bring people with a browsing experience that is as close to the original as possible.

Kiwix' mission is to support and encourage "internet offline for all", to empower people on the wrong side of connectivity to be able to enjoy the riches that the modern web has to offer - no matter their language or location. We work with organizations around the world to build more scrapers and provide more, up-to-date content: OpenZIM, therefore, is the content arm of our organization.

All openZIM code is released as FOSS on here. Feel free to look into our code, use it, share it, and modify it to your needs (we welcome Pull Requests from everyone interested).
