TermVisage is a terminal image viewer and browser built for people who want to inspect images without leaving the command line.
It acts as a front-end to the term-image library and can open local image files, image URLs, and directories of images, switching to a full terminal user interface when browsing multiple sources. Depending on your terminal emulator, it can use graphics protocols such as Kitty and iTerm2 inline images, or fall back to Unicode and truecolor rendering, giving you a flexible way to work with images directly inside a terminal session.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports efficient and configurable thumbnail generation.
- Offers adjustable image grids for browsing collections.
- Provides context-based controls that are shown within the interface.
- Includes customizable controls and configuration options.
- Supports shell completion for command-line arguments.
- Can infinitely loop animated images such as GIF, APNG, and Animated WebP files.
- Provides a Vim-style configuration file for navigation key bindings.
- Delivers a smooth and performant terminal viewing experience.
