WikiWand. A beautiful interface for Wikipedia

Last updated on 12 May 2026

WikiWand is an online tool that will allow you to rediscover the Wikipedia encyclopedia with a new skin. More ergonomic, more modern and simply more beautiful.

WikiWand is a kind of virtual magic wand that will turn Wikipedia's old dusty interface into a rutilating carriage This will highlight the incredible richness of the unavoidable encyclopedia. Try it you'll be surprised.

WikiWand is more than just a painting. This graphic tool introduces an essential notion in learning and reading: the notion of pleasure. Alongside the somewhat austere interface that you and your students know, WikiWand offers a completely different visual experience highlighting the visual and the frames and offering a much clearer and more modern navigation. The menus are clear, the grip is immediate.

The creators of WikiWand have focused on simply making this online encyclopedia, which is no longer on display, more beautiful. Images in value, work on typography, preview of links contained in the articles in the form of boxes …the creators of Wikiwand did a good job.

WikiWand is in the form ofan extension for Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Once installed on your favorite browser, when you go to Wikipedia, the beautiful Wikiwand dress will appear on the screen. You can install it without hesitation, you will not want to go back.

In order not to spoil anything, you will also be surprised by the speed at which the site is displayed despite the richness of the graphical interface. WikiWand is displayed almost three times faster than the classic Wikipedia interface. A real discovery. The current version of Wikiwand is still in development and is expected to see several improvements in the coming months. Also on the program is a mobile version for smartphones and tablets.

Do you remember the beautiful coloured plates in the centre of our old dictionaries that we liked to browse to get out of the typographic grey of the rest of the dictionary? WikiWand is a bit like that. Your students should love … and so should you.
