Image printing in the terminal. See also: catimg, pixterm. More information: https://hpjansson.org/chafa/man.

  • Render an image directly in the terminal:

chafa path/to/file

  • Render an image with 24-bit color:

chafa -c full path/to/file

  • Improve image rendering with small color palettes using dithering:

chafa -c 16 --dither ordered path/to/file

  • Render an image, making it appear pixelated:

chafa --symbols vhalf path/to/file

  • Render a monochrome image with only braille characters:

chafa -c none --symbols braille path/to/file
