ueberzug is a command-line utility that adds image display support to X11 terminal emulators by drawing images over the terminal window. It was designed as a stopgap until terminal image protocols like SIXEL and the Kitty graphics protocol became widely adopted.
Use cases
- display images inside the terminal
- preview images in terminal file managers like ranger
- show album art in terminal music players
- render image thumbnails in terminal-based applications
- add image support to terminals lacking native image protocols
When to choose
- you are stuck on X11 with a terminal that has no image protocol support
- you need image previews in legacy terminal setups
When to avoid
- you use Wayland, where it will not work
- your terminal supports SIXEL or the Kitty image protocol
- you want actively maintained software
