PIXterm is a Go CLI tool that renders images directly in ANSI terminals using true color escape codes and unicode half-block characters. It supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and WebP formats, with optional dithering modes and transparency matte colors.
Use cases
- display an image in my terminal
- preview images over ssh without a gui
- render a png as ascii art in the shell
- show image thumbnails in a terminal
- convert an image to ansi true color output
- view a gif in the command line
When to choose
- you work in a terminal-only or ssh environment and need quick image previews
- your terminal supports true color and a monospaced font with block characters
- you want a fast, dependency-free single binary for terminal image rendering
When to avoid
- your terminal lacks true color support
- you need high-fidelity image viewing with zoom or pan
- you use a proportional font or a font missing the half-block unicode character
