Smart Crop

Intelligently crop to focus on interesting areas

Overview

The Smart Crop node automatically identifies and crops to the most visually interesting area of an image. It uses content-aware algorithms to find important features like faces, text, or high-contrast regions.

Usage Tips

• Great for creating consistent thumbnails from varied source images
• Specify target dimensions - the algorithm finds the best crop area
• Works well for profile pictures and product photos
• More intelligent than center-crop for varied content

Common Pairings

• Import from URL - Smart crop user-uploaded images
• Resize - Scale after cropping for exact dimensions
• Merge - Add smart-cropped thumbnails to templates

Gotchas

• Results depend on image content - not always predictable
• Very uniform images may crop arbitrarily
• Cannot specify which area to focus on - it’s automatic
