              crop will be centered on the image. Either the width or
              height of the image will remain full-size, depending on
              the image’s aspect ratio and the requested aspect ratio.
              For example, a 1600x900 image cropped with a 1x1 aspect
              ratio will become 900x900. A 1600x1100 image cropped with
              a 16x9 aspect ratio will become 1600x900.
