Renders images in the terminal.
catimg
is a little program written in C with no dependencies that prints images in terminal.
It supports JPEG, PNG and GIF formats. This program was originally a script that
did the same by using ImageMagick convert
.
Homebrew
brew install catimg
Arch Linux
yaourt -S catimg
Fedora 25 and later
dnf -y install catimg
cmake .
make install
In order to use the script you need:
- ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 2012-08-17 Q16 (Not tested with earlier versions)
- shell with 256 colors support ( change the
#!/usr/bin/env bash
by yours). In OS X you just have to update the bash version using Homebrew (or any other method).
##High Resolution vs Low Resolution
By using unicode characters catimg will try to display pictures in higher resolution. You can force the resolution with the -r
option.
Script version is way more accurate concerning colors but considerably slower.
I'm open to any contributions that helps catimg
! If you find bugs, please
create an issue or do a pull request 😄.
