Render an image directly in the terminal:
chafa {{path/to/file}}


Render an image with 24-bit color:
chafa {{[-c|--colors]}} full {{path/to/file}}


Improve image rendering with small color palettes using dithering:
chafa {{[-c|--colors]}} 16 --dither ordered {{path/to/file}}


Render an image, making it appear pixelated:
chafa --symbols vhalf {{path/to/file}}


Render a monochrome image with only braille characters:
chafa {{[-c|--colors]}} none --symbols braille {{path/to/file}}
