I’ve written and released a new WordPress plugin called SmartCrop. Instead of creating cropped thumbnails from the center of an uploaded image, SmartCrop attempts to automatically determine the most interesting part of the image and centers the crop there.
It’s most easily explained with this example:
- A sample image
- Default thumbnail cropping
- Smartly cropped thumbnail
- Another sample image
- Default thumbnail cropping
- Smartly cropped thumbnail
