Can Blink Shell display images in the terminal?

What is the fastest way to view images from the terminal? How do I make my terminal display images? How do I view an image inside the terminal, without downloading it?

Blink Shell supports displaying images over SSH when using iTerm2 imgcat.

Download it to your bin folder on the remote server, add chmod +x, and pass the image you want to display.

wget https://iterm2.com/utilities/imgcat -P .bin
chmod +x .bin/imgcat
imgcat image.png

This assumes you already have a .bin folder in your $PATH.

To display in terminal multiplexers or mosh, you'll need to use one of many command-line applications to view images. For example, VIU:
