# Kiwix Server

## What are ZIM files?
The ZIM file format is an open file format that stores wiki content for offline usage. The format is defined by the openZIM project, which also supports an Kiwix. The format is primarily used to store the contents of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, including articles, full-text search indices and auxiliary files.
Download ZIM files from the [Kiwix library](https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng), or create your own (see [Zimit](https://www.youzim.it/))
