FaceAware
A Swift extension for UIImageView that automatically detects and focuses on faces within images, preventing awkward cropping.
What is FaceAware?
FaceAware is a Swift library that extends UIImageView to automatically detect and focus on faces within images. It solves the problem of poorly cropped avatars or profile pictures by using Core Image's face detection to ensure faces remain centered and visible. This is especially useful for apps displaying user photos where aspect fill cropping often cuts off faces.
iOS developers building apps that display user avatars, profile pictures, or any photo-centric UI where face visibility is important. It's ideal for social media, messaging, or dating apps.
Developers choose FaceAware because it's a lightweight, easy-to-integrate solution that requires minimal code to significantly improve user experience. Unlike manual cropping or generic aspect fill, it intelligently preserves faces, reducing user frustration with poorly cropped images.
