# Face crop

Finds the most prominent face in the image and crops it to the specified with the **width** and **height** parameters dimensions. If you however provide only one dimension, the other dimension will be chosen automatically to keep the aspect ratio of the face.

<mark style="color:orange;">**func=face**</mark>

{% hint style="info" %}
If there is no face in the image or many faces are found, the operation defaults to a standard crop.
{% endhint %}

## Face margin

<mark style="color:orange;">**face\_margin=X|W,H**</mark>
