Want to download Wikipedia offline and read it on a flight, in a remote area or anywhere without internet? You can. Wikipedia’s content is free to copy, and the free Kiwix<\/strong> app lets you download the whole of Wikipedia, or a smaller version, to your computer or phone. We first tried this in 2012. Here’s how to download Wikipedia for offline reading in 2026, and how much space you’ll need.<\/p>\n

\"Download<\/p>\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Install Kiwix<\/a> on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone, open its built-in library, search for “Wikipedia” and download the edition you want: mini<\/strong> (article introductions only), nopic<\/strong> (full text, no images) or maxi<\/strong> (everything, including images). Then open it in Kiwix and read Wikipedia offline, with full search.<\/p>\n
