## What it is
A jQuery plugin for responsive cropping that dynamically crops images to fill available space while keeping the image's focal point visible. It is well suited to full-screen or fluid image containers whose aspect ratio changes across devices.

## Use cases
- crop images responsively without cutting out the subject
- make full-screen hero images look good on any screen size
- keep a photo's focal point visible across portrait, landscape, and square containers
- serve one image file in multiple responsive layouts
- specify a focus point for images and auto-crop around it

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need smart image cropping in fluid containers
- you want one image file to work across portrait, landscape, and square layouts
- you need full-screen background images that never lose their subject

## When to avoid
- you want a modern dependency-free solution - the plugin requires jQuery and its v2 rewrite is stalled
- you need server-side or build-time image cropping rather than client-side adjustment
- the project needs active development or new features
