A Neovim plugin written in Lua that adds image display support inside the editor using Kitty's Graphics Protocol, ueberzugpp, or Sixel backends. It provides a library for working with images plus built-in integrations for Markdown and Neorg, relying on ImageMagick for conversion and scaling.
Use cases
- view images inline in neovim
- render images in markdown files in neovim
- display images in the terminal editor
- preview images while editing notes in neorg
- show image previews in kitty terminal
- render images over tmux in neovim
When to choose
- you edit Markdown or Neorg documents with images in Neovim
- you use Kitty or another terminal supporting the Kitty Graphics Protocol
- you want a Lua library for programmatically displaying images in Neovim
When to avoid
- you use a terminal without Kitty Graphics Protocol, ueberzugpp, or Sixel support
- you need high-performance image rendering on WezTerm or other partially compliant terminals
- you don't want to install ImageMagick as a dependency
