Sixels is a pretty old school terminal graphics capability which has gotten a bit of more attention recently. Increasingly modern terminal are adopting Kitty Graphics Protocol - but there are some terminals out there that support Sixels. Here is WezTerm running a simulation.

I'm trying to get the same simulation going in iTerm2 but can't get the scaling right.

That sounds tricky! Hopefully you get the scaling figured out soon.

Will need to try out Windows Terminal's support next.

Turns out Sixels in Windows Terminal are pretty solid.
