What is image.nvim?
image.nvim is a Neovim plugin that adds image rendering capabilities directly within the editor. It enables users to view images inside Neovim for markdown, Neorg, and other document formats by handling the complexity of terminal graphics protocols. The plugin abstracts away the low-level details, providing a seamless experience for developers who work with image-rich documentation or notes.
Neovim users who work with image-rich documentation, notes, or markup files (like Markdown, AsciiDoc, Neorg, reStructuredText, Typst, HTML, or CSS) and want to view images directly in their terminal-based editor. It is particularly useful for developers using Kitty, Tmux, or other compatible terminals.
Developers choose image.nvim because it offers a unified and configurable interface for image rendering in Neovim with multiple backend support (Kitty, Überzug++, Sixel) for broad terminal compatibility. Its unique selling point is first-class Tmux support and built-in integrations for various document formats, abstracting away the complexities of terminal graphics protocols while prioritizing performance and flexibility.
