Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Chafa is a command-line utility that converts all kinds of images, including animated image formats like GIFs, into ANSI/Unicode character output that can be displayed in a terminal. It is highly configurable, with support for alpha transparency and multiple color modes and color spaces, combining a range of Unicode characters for optimal output.
