crp

Tools for cropping images.

Description

Images often need to be cropped to specific aspect ratios and dimensions for upload to sites like TheMovieDB (TMDB). TheMovieDB's image upload guidelines explain that backdrops should be in a 16:9 aspect ratio (width x height) and posters should be in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Some sites have auto-cropping features that will offer to crop images to the required dimensions during upload, but this is often not adequate. Images often need further editing beyond just brute-force auto-cropping. It's therefore helpful to have dimensions to use as a guideline when editing images.

This project provides a command-line interface (CLI) that suggests dimensions to use for cropping.
