Introducción

Yazi is a blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O. Created by sxyazi with the motto Blazing Fast File Manager. Unlike older file managers (nnn, ranger, lf), Yazi embraces async I/O for non-blocking previews, parallel operations, and smooth UI even on slow filesystems.

What Yazi Does

  • Async I/O — non-blocking UI during heavy operations
  • Image previews — in terminal via Kitty, iTerm2, Sixel protocols
  • Video previews — thumbnails via ffmpeg
  • PDF previews — via poppler
  • Archive browsing — tar, zip, 7z
  • Plugin system — Lua-based
  • Fuzzy find — integrated with fzf
  • Zoxide integration — smart cd
  • Multi-tabs — browse multiple dirs simultaneously
  • Batch rename — edit names in your $EDITOR

Architecture

Async Rust runtime (tokio) with a Ratatui-like renderer. Plugin system uses mlua for Lua 5.4. Previews delegated to external tools (ffmpeg, poppler, exiftool) via the preview adapter system.

Self-Hosting

CLI tool.

Key Features

  • Async non-blocking operations
  • In-terminal image and video preview
  • Lua plugin system
  • Batch rename via $EDITOR
  • Multi-tab browsing
  • Integrated with fzf, zoxide, rg
  • Mouse support
  • Customizable keymaps
  • Beautiful default theme

Comparison

File Manager Language Async Image Preview Plugins
Yazi Rust Yes Native Lua
nnn C No Via script Shell
ranger Python No Via script Python
lf Go No Via script Shell
xplr Rust Partial Via script Lua
Midnight Commander C No Limited No

FAQ

Q: Image preview isn't working? A: Your terminal needs to support the Kitty, iTerm2, Sixel, or Überzug protocol. Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, and iTerm2 support it natively.

Q: How do I install plugins? A: ya pack -a user/plugin-name. Plugins live in ~/.config/yazi/plugins/.

Q: Performance? A: Rust + async — large directories (100k files) open instantly. Older Python/C file managers stall.
