## What is a Zim File?
|
||
|
||
A ZIM file is a digital format used to store information from websites like Wikipedia so you can access it without needing an internet connection. It's created by the [openZIM](https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/OpenZIM?ref=noted.lol) project and can be read with a program called [Kiwix](https://kiwix.org/?ref=noted.lol). The name "ZIM" comes from "Zeno IMproved." To save space, it uses compression techniques like the XZ Utils library and Zstandard. It's supported by organizations like Wikimedia CH and the Wikimedia Foundation. So, it's a way to keep website data on your device for offline use. - via [Noted](https://noted.lol/convert-any-website-into-a-zim-file-zimit/)
