jQuery plugin for 'responsive cropping'. Dynamically crop images to fill available space without cutting out the image's subject. Great for full-screen images.

Great work — I'd use this.

I currently use imgix's facial detection cropping — but on images without faces, on a site that doesnt use imgix, i'd spring for this!

Wow that is a sweet service! I hadn't heard of that before. jQuery FocusPoint is probably a solution to a different problem than imgx - it's about making images look their best when cropped client-side to an unknown aspect ratio. Framing is probably a better word for me to use than cropping actually as this is a non-destructive / responsive process. Anyway thanks for the feedback and kudos!

yes.... i had a lot of framing problems recently. locking aspect ratios and making images resize correctly across screens is difficult. I pulled it off as I have control over the cropping of every photo, but it's hard.

I think that for responsive images, resrc.it is probably better than imgix, but I haven't tried it yet. I dont think resrc.it has fit=crop&crop=faces, so that would be a no-go for until then. Fixing the issues with dpi and image widths for both <img> and background-image is a real godsend though.
