Image Crop API for Smart Cropping and Resizing

The code snippets you've provided are examples of how to use Cloudinary's image transformation API via its SDK in JavaScript. Each example demonstrates a different way to manipulate images, such as resizing, cropping, and converting formats.

Here’s an explanation for each snippet:

1. Thumbnail with WebP format:

   • This operation resizes the image to fit within 200x150 pixels while maintaining its aspect ratio.
   • It then converts the image to the WebP format, which is highly efficient and supports transparency.

   javascript
    
   1const operations = [
   2  { type: "resize", width: 200, height: 150, fit: "inside" },
   3  { type: "convert", format: "webp" }
   4];

2. Constrain to max dimensions (never upscale):

   • This operation ensures the image is resized so that it fits within a maximum width of 1920 pixels and height of 1080 pixels without upscaling.

   javascript
    
   1const operations = [
   2  { type: "resize", width: 1920, height: 1080, fit:
