thumbor is a smart imaging service that enables on-demand [cropping, resizing, applying filters and optimizing](http://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/crop_and_resize_algorithms.html) images.

Cropping photos automatically can be a frustrating experience with severed heads involved. thumbor
uses [AI for smart detection](http://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/detection_algorithms.html).

thumbor is an HTTP server and you can create as many different images as you want just by varying path parameters:

```
http://<thumbor-server>/300x200/smart/thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/logo-thumbor.png
```

You should see an image of the thumbor logo in 300x200.

Learn more about all you can do in [thumbor's documentation](http://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html "thumbor docs").
