pdf-tui

PDF reader for the terminal, with sharp images via Kitty, Sixel, or iTerm2

Desktopfreeglobal

pdf-tui is a terminal PDF reader that renders sharp page images through the Kitty, Sixel, or iTerm2 graphics protocols, with a text-based fallback in any terminal, and continuous scrolling. It's for developers who'd rather read a PDF without leaving the terminal for a GUI viewer.
