imgix offers a suite of face cropping parameters, which make it easy to deal with large image sets with faces in them, like user avatars. Learn about how to use face detection for user avatars and more in our tutorial.

Metadata is a powerful tool when working with images. It can tell you the dimensions of your image, DPI, camera EXIF data, and more—and each piece of data is a signal you can use with imgix to display your images to their best advantage.
