Why Convert WEBP to SIXEL file?

Sixel is an old but still-used graphics protocol that lets certain terminal emulators display images directly in a text console — useful for previewing pictures over SSH or in scripts without opening a separate image viewer. A modern WEBP photo needs converting to this format before a Sixel-capable terminal can render it.

The output works well for quick previews in supporting terminals like iTerm2, mlterm, or xterm with Sixel enabled. Not every terminal supports the format, so check your terminal's capabilities before relying on it.
