imcat

Show any size image in a terminal window. No X11 required.

Introduction

Do you ever find yourself logged into a server, over SSH, but there is no X11 connection. And you want to see the contents of an image?

imcat to the rescue!

imcat is a 24-bit image viewer that uses ANSI terminal colours to display any image supported by STB. It automatically resizes to the width of your terminal, using proper sampling kernels.
