Media Type Images Crops - NCIOCPL/cgov-digital-platform GitHub Wiki

The following are all of the crops that are available to be configured within the system. Not every image type needs to use these crops, but they should be reused whenever the same aspect ratio/sizes are needed. The soft limits are based on the the largest width of an the image styles that use the crop.

For display sizes see the Media Type Image page.
