Additional Notes & Screenshots

Does this force all images to be 800 x 600?

Is there a way to crop these to the correct ratio before resizing. My worry is that images would be warped or distorted.

@TimOsahenru thank you so much for looking into this!

Have you seen this? https://github.com/boidolr/pre-commit-images? My thoughts were definitely to make scaling changes where necessary.

Here is a list of the things that I would like to see down in this

• resize all banner style images to 16:9 ratio with minimum
• resize thumbnail and people photos to 1:1 with maximum size TBD.
• all images that don't need transparent backgrounds be converted to webp and optimized
