PIXterm

Draws images directly in an ANSI terminal using true color and dithering.

Desktopfreeglobal

A terminal application that renders images inside ANSI terminals using true color, Unicode block elements, and an optional matte color for transparency, with multiple dithering modes for terminals without true-color support. It keeps image previews within terminal workflows so developers and terminal-first users can view BMP/GIF/JPEG/PNG/TIFF/WebP files during SSH or CI sessions, serving as a self-hosted CLI alternative to tools like chafa and catimg.
