Images are a vital part of any modern website. High-quality images help convey information, set the visual style, and engage visitors. However, most images need some editing before being display-ready for the web. One of the most common editing tasks is cropping images to highlight key subjects and fit specific layouts.

Luckily, there are many great online image crop tools that can quickly edit images right in your browser. Here are some top options:

Moz crop toolThis tool from Mozilla focuses on efficient JPEG cropping. It's fast, easy to use, and open-source.
Canva Canva's free photo editor has handy cropping options along with other image editing tools. Just upload a photo then drag to crop.
PicMonkey PicMonkey is an full-featured online photo editor with a simple intuitive interface. The crop tool lets you set specific dimensions.

Fotor Fotor provides AI-powered automated cropping along with manual crop options and other editing features.

Once you've cropped your images, you'll need to add them to your website code. Here is an example using HTML:
<img src="cool-photo-cropped.jpg" alt="Cropped photo" width="400" height="300">

The <img> tag embeds an image in your HTML document and the src attribute points to the image file. Set alternate text with the alt attribute and dimensions with width and height.

The key to cropping is focusing on the most important visual details and optimizing for the layout. These online tools make it easy to crop on the fly and save optimized versions of your images to use on your site. Sharp, well-cropped images make for more engaging and effective websites.

A Beginner's Guide to jQuery Chaining

iftikhar hussain — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 11:51:32 +0000

jQuery chaining is a useful technique for connecting multiple methods calls in a single statement. This results in shorter and more readable code compared to applying the methods separately.

As you can see, the chaining version is much cleaner and concise. So how does this work under the hood?

The key things to know about chaining:

Each method call starts by selecting the element, in this case $('#elem')
The methods are chained together using periods
No need to store the return value in a variable, since each method works on the return value of the previous one

This is possible because jQuery methods return the original jQuery object. So $('#elem').css() returns the $('#elem') object, allowing us to call the next method .hide() on it.

The end result is we can avoid reselecting the element over and over, making the code compact and readable.

Some common use cases where chaining helps:

Modifying style - chaining css(), addClass(), removeClass() etc
Animations - chaining animate(), fadeOut(), slideUp() one after another
DOM manipulation - chaining append(), prepend(), remove() to build a structure

Chaining isn't always necessary, but it's a good technique to have in your toolbox for jQuery code.

iftikhar hussain — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 21:03:45 +0000

I recently got interested in compressing images on the client-side while I was working on a client project.
so I searched on google for the best online compression tool, after spent much time figuring out what is the best tool for using compression.

so here is the list of the best website I found:

1) TinyPng
It is a great online tool for compressing images, you can compress PNG, JPEG types image
link: https://tinypng.com

2) mozJpeg
It is also a great tool for compression images but the good thing is you can compress images without quality loss, also you can edit and resize your images online with this tool.
Another Best feature is its technology is browser-based(means you images won't be upload) so you don't need to worry about the privacy of your images, and save a lot of your bandwidth.
https://mozjpeg.com

3) compressjpeg
it is just like the tinyPng tool, it provides good results but there is a google ad.
you can compress both types of images PNG and JPEG.
https://compressjpeg.com

I provide you the links you can use any of these tools to compress images for web/mobile apps etc
but I recommend you to use https://mozjpeg.com because it is best for me and after using it you'll like it

Thanks
