What is TermImage in Termux?
Termimage is a simple package in termux that allows you to print any image file inside the termux terminal in text art format. This command is helpful if you wanna print any image in the terminal. also sometimes when we are using termux and we are working with multiple files at the same time and if we wanna look quickly inside an image file to see if it's the right one or not then this package can help us there.
The Important thing to keep here in mind that this will not show you clear images If the image file size is large. so this will work better with logos than the image that you have captured with your phone camera. If you wanna add your youtube channel or any logo in termux when you open any session then termimage can help, also if you are creating tools for termux then you can also use this tool to print something fancy in the terminal.
