## What it is
A jQuery plugin that makes images truly responsive by keeping a user-defined focus area in view when containers resize. It uses data-focus attributes to intelligently position and resize images so important content like faces is never cropped out.

## Use cases
- keep faces visible in responsive image containers
- prevent group photos from being cropped badly on resize
- maintain focus area when image container aspect ratio changes
- generate focus area data for responsive images
- make hero images responsive without losing the subject

## When to choose
- you use jQuery and need responsive images that preserve a focal point
- your layouts have containers with variable aspect ratios
- you want a lightweight, dependency-light image focus solution

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework with native object-fit/object-position support
- you need automatic focus detection rather than manually defined areas
- you want an actively developed library with recent updates

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
