For the time being, you may be able to set a custom preview that is basically chafa -f sixels --polite on.

A temporal fix is paste in your ~/.config/ctpv/config the following code:

preview image image/* {{
	chafa -s "${w}x${h}" -f sixels --polite on "$f"
}}

Does this even work? I compiled ctpv with this commit but I still get an error:
chafa: Output format given as '/home/amolinae/Pictures/screenshot.png'. Must be one of [iterm, kitty, sixels, symbols].

Add

set forcechafa
set chafasixel

to ~/.config/ctpv/config

Huh, I am now getting a bunch of random text and numbers.

EDIT: nvm it was an issue on my end.
