Display thumbnails as square while retaining aspect ratio

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I am trying to figure out a way to make an image display as a square, for example 80x80 pixels, when the source file is rectangular.

The catch is that I want the image to look normal (not squished) so the image has to be "cropped" or something, for lack of a better term. However, it should not modify the original file, just change the way it is displayed.

It would be great if I could easily tie it into a <img> tag, so I can change the way it displays exactly where I want it to, and not where I don't.

I haven't been able to figure this out, any help is appreciated!
