# Auto-crop images around the most important subject before generating thumbnails

> Use smartcrop when an agent needs to choose a sensible crop automatically instead of center-cropping every image. The workflow scores visual saliency, returns crop coordinates for a target aspect ratio, and hands those coordinates to an image pipeline that renders the final thumbnail or social card.
