Fit Modes Explained

• cover: Scale image to cover entire area (may crop)
• contain: Scale image to fit entirely within area (may have empty space)
• fill: Stretch image to fill exact dimensions (may distort)
• inside: Like contain, but never upscale
• outside: Like cover, but never downscale

Position Options

Control where the image is positioned within the target area:

• center: Center the image
• top, bottom, left, right: Align to edges
• top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right: Corner alignment

TypeScript Support

Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions:

import { cropImage, CropifyOptions, FilterOptions } from 'cropify';

const options: CropifyOptions = {
    imagePath: 'image.jpg',
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    filters: {
        brightness: 20
    }
};
