jQuery-Fakecrop Plugin takes a collection of images and automatically scale them to fit a custom-defined bounding box. This creates a "fake" cropping effect on those images; which produces convincing thumbnails.

Quick Start:
<script src="/path/to/jquery-library.js"></script> <script src="/path/to/fakecrop.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () { // for a filled square thumbnail $('img').fakecrop(); // for a fixed width/height $('img').fakecrop({fill: false}); }); </script>
