## Description

An image file (e.g. JPEG, PNG) contains metadata, i.e. information about the image,
e.g. which camera model was used, when the picture has been taken or various image
regions. Image regions are useful for describing specific areas of the image (e.
g. objects, people) or for indicating how the image should be cropped or rotated
to best fit a given container.

This WordPress plugin reads such image regions in order to automatically crop images
the best possible way, depending on which container they are being displayed in.

The [Frameright app](https://frameright.app/) can be used to define such image regions
and insert them in the metadata of a picture.

#### How does it work?

When rendering a post or a page, the plugin looks for images that have image region
metadata and replaces them with a web component automatically zooming on the best
suited image region, effectively doing better than a classical middle-crop.

### Credits

This plugin is based on [Frameright/php-image-metadata-parser](https://github.com/Frameright/php-image-metadata-parser),
a fork of [dchesterton/image](https://github.com/dchesterton/image), an image metadata
parsing library. Many thanks to [dchesterton](https://github.com/dchesterton)!
