Unsure if image analysis is supported in OpenCode (Windows 11, WezTerm & PowerShell) #2937
I am new to OpenCode and I’m not sure whether screenshot/image analysis is actually supported or if I need to configure something locally. When I try, I consistently get a message saying the assistant cannot analyze images. I tried with different models and in both WezTerm and native PowerShell on Windows 11. Reporting here for clarification, as I could not find anyone else mentioning this issue, and maybe other new users may face the same question.
Environment
OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)
Terminal(s): WezTerm (latest) and Windows Terminal / native PowerShell
OpenCode Models: Tested with multiple (including Claude Sonnet 4.5)
Location: Australia/Sydney (UTC+10)
Plan: ChatGPT Plus
Steps to Reproduce
Start an OpenCode session on Windows 11.
Attach a JPG/PNG screenshot for analysis.
Prompt the assistant to “analyze the screenshot.”
Observe the reply.
Actual Result
Instead of analyzing the screenshot, the assistant replies:
I apologize, but I cannot directly view or analyze image files like JPG screenshots. My tools only allow me to read text-based files, not binary image files.
Expected (Not sure)
If image analysis is supported: I expected the assistant to process the screenshot directly.
If it requires setup: Clear documentation or instructions to enable the feature.
If not supported: A clearer message confirming the limitation.
Impact
Blocks me from using screenshots for troubleshooting/debugging, which I thought was part of the feature set.
Notes
The reply also included a line like: Plan claude-sonnet-4-5
I’m reporting mainly for clarification — not sure if it’s a bug, misconfiguration, or expected behaviour.

Reading images #2657: Similar question about reading images - user asking what tool can read images in OpenCode, experiencing the same "Read tool fails to read any images" issue
@thecuriousair598 so there is some better support we need to do, we may even have something we need to fix that is specific to windows but @itsrainingmani would know status of it, put currently:
only way to give images to the llm is via:
A) @ referencing it your prompt and selecting it as an "attachment"
B) drag & drop / paste the image into input and it should be linked as attachment
I have a branch where i allow LLM to use the read tool to read images but I need to clean it up a bit before we can merge it

We actually have issues tracking both of these things, I will link them here but I will close this as a duplicate in meantime
