  3. ueberzugpp

    Drop in replacement for ueberzug written in C++

    Linux has X11 or Wayland, so Überzug++ can overlay actual images on top of the terminal window — much better quality than Chafa.

  4. chafa

    📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.

    On macOS, Überzug++'s X11/Wayland backend is disabled at compile time, so it can't overlay images. yazi automatically falls back to Chafa, which renders images using Unicode block characters inside the terminal.
