iterm2 supports inline images with a proprietary set of escape codes described here: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html Incidentally if you ssh into an untrusted system using iterm2 (or otherwise get foreign escape codes going into iterm2, for instance if you cat the wrong file), I believe it's possible for that system to drop files into your ~/Downloads/ directory without prompting you. It could be worse though, there used to be terminal emulators you could exploit by setting the title, because they weren't bounds checking correctly.
