# Swayimg: image viewer for Sway/Wayland

Swayimg is a lightweight image viewer for Wayland display servers.

In a [Sway](https://swaywm.org) compatible mode, the viewer creates an "overlay"
above the currently active window, which gives the illusion that you are opening
the image directly in a terminal window.
