Description

A codec library and command-line converters for DEC SIXEL graphics, a terminal image format that can show bitmap-like graphics inside compatible terminals.

It is useful for terminal workflows that preview or convert images without opening a graphical viewer. The included tools run from the terminal, and output quality depends on terminal SIXEL support.
