IMAGES
Display images directly in your terminal. Photos, diagrams, emoji, even animated GIFs.
Display Images Inline
ori-term can display images directly alongside your text. View photos, charts, diagrams, and screenshots without leaving the terminal. Images are GPU-accelerated, so they display smoothly without slowing down text rendering.
How to Display Images
Use any of these tools to display images in ori-term:
kitten icat image.png-- Recommended, most capableimg2sixel image.png-- Widely supported formatimgcat image.png-- iTerm2-compatible
ori-term supports the three major terminal image formats, so most image-display tools work out of the box.
Animated GIFs
Animated GIFs play frame-by-frame at their intended timing. Watch animations right in your terminal.
Memory Limits
ori-term automatically manages image memory. A configurable limit (256 MB by default) ensures that long-running sessions with many images do not consume unbounded memory. Older images are evicted as needed to make room for new ones.
