Many terminals supports sixel only.

Proposals:

migrate to ImageMagick (which supports sixels out-from-the-box) or
use libsixel

Added in 572c763

Still needs some final tests, but looks pretty promising. Can be chosen with -psixel

Finished tests. Seems to work with the various terminals I tested (including needed worarounds)

xterm -ti vt340
mlterm
konsole (though by default timg will use -p iterm there)
xfce4-terminal (compiled with latest vte that allows for sixels)
wezterm
alacritty-sixel

Will be in a release shortly.
