Feature Request: Cropping

Optimole is fantastic, I think it’s the best solution on the market. However, it’s missing one feature that would round-out the package into the complete answer for image handling – automatic CROPPING.

Once a site is designed, most of the new image uploads will be featured images for pages and posts. I’d like to see a feature that would auto-crop to typical aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9, 1:1. Or maybe just one custom aspect ratio.

I can tell you from long experience that clients just don’t get the basic concepts of digital images: cropping vs. re-sizing, resolution vs. pixel dimensions, pixel depth vs. image quality, etc. So we have to automate it for them.

Optimole addresses everything except cropping. With cropping in place, the client can upload just about anything and get a good result, especially on blog archive pages that always look bad if the images are cropped differently. Thank you!
