I'm camerounian I built a webapp whose allows students to consult wikipedia articles

So you don't need the originals, only thumbs.

without internet connectivity,many school accepted the application and the application is hosted on a server and shared by wifi on each school.

Nice! It seems you may want to use this existing software solution: http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve That way, you can use the available ZIM files with no need to generate or download (and compress) the thumbnails yourself. Example: http://www.wikimedia.fr/afripedia Your help developing the software would be very useful and you could avoid doing yourself what you don't have the resources (bandwidth) to do.

I have all the other dumps of wikipedia articles in french and english;but I don't have any image because they are too heavy for me to be downloaded to my side (3 TB) and I have a low bandwidth (40 ko/s when it's fast).

The webapp works on a browser and i don't know if the zim format can be undecompressed to get small images (jpeg,png,svg...).

Kiwix is a browser, you can save anything you want AFAIK.

This is the video demo (3min in french) of the webapp :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-HJhOw1-U

If I get small images in french and english to download to the app,my problem will revolved.

Tank a lot Federico

What do you need them for?
Originals would be about 2+1 TB and anyone can download and ship
them for you:

Otherwise there are the ZIM files with thumbnails compressed,
fr.wiki is 14 GB but en.wiki is not available yet.
