Crop image into square and then to circle using pure CSS? - html

Question

I'm trying to make a circle out of images with different sizes and different shapes (some rectangle, some sqaure, some portrait, some landscape).
When I'm using: clip-path: circle(50% at 50% 50%); or border-radius: 50%;, it turns the image into a perfect circle, only if the image is square:
Is there a way to crop an image into a square and then use one of these methods to make it a perfect circle:
Using pure CSS withou using background-image (most images are given the background image from server side),
Keeping a 50% ratio - without losing aspect ratio - (both if border-radius or clip-path)(Images size may vary).
Here's a code snippet to show a square image and a rectangle image:
.clipped {
clip-path: circle(50% at 50% 50%);
}
Square<br>
<img src='http://i.imgur.com/d5byNNR.jpg' width="100" class='clipped' /><br><br>
Rectangle<br>
<img src='http://i.imgur.com/22W12EQ.jpg' width="100" class='clipped' />

Answer 1

You can use circle() but without the parameters:
.clipped {
clip-path: circle();
}
It appears to use the smaller side of your image as the circle's circumference.
Working sample here.
It works on Chrome and FireFox. IE and Edge still does not support clip-path

Answer 2

That's an another way to do it using pure CSS:
HTML
<div class="circular--portrait">
<img src='http://i.imgur.com/22W12EQ.jpg'/>
</div>
CSS
.circular--portrait {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.circular--portrait img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin-top: -30px;
}

Alright, took me a moment but this is what I came up with:
function ScaleImage(srcwidth, srcheight, targetwidth, targetheight, fLetterBox, xOffSet, yOffSet) {
var result = { width: 0, height: 0, fScaleToTargetWidth: true };
if ((srcwidth <= 0) || (srcheight <= 0) || (targetwidth <= 0) || (targetheight <= 0)) {
return result;
}
// scale to the target width
var scaleX1 = targetwidth;
var scaleY1 = (srcheight * targetwidth) / srcwidth;
// scale to the target height
var scaleX2 = (srcwidth * targetheight) / srcheight;
var scaleY2 = targetheight;
// now figure out which one we should use
var fScaleOnWidth = (scaleX2 > targetwidth);
if (fScaleOnWidth) {
fScaleOnWidth = fLetterBox;
}
else {
fScaleOnWidth = !fLetterBox;
}
if (fScaleOnWidth) {
result.width = Math.floor(scaleX1);
result.height = Math.floor(scaleY1);
result.fScaleToTargetWidth = true;
}
else {
result.width = Math.floor(scaleX2);
result.height = Math.floor(scaleY2);
result.fScaleToTargetWidth = false;
}
//result.targetleft = Math.floor((targetwidth - result.width) / 2);
//result.targettop = Math.floor((targetheight - result.height) / 2);
result.targetleft = Math.floor((targetwidth - result.width) / 2 - xOffSet);
result.targettop = Math.floor((targetheight - result.height) / 2 - yOffSet);
return result;
}
function OnImageLoad(evt, xOffSet = 0, yOffSet = 0) {
var img = evt.currentTarget;
// what's the size of this image and it's parent
var w = $(img).width();
var h = $(img).height();
var tw = $(img).parent().width();
var th = $(img).parent().height();
// compute the new size and offsets
var result = ScaleImage(w, h, tw, th, false, xOffSet, yOffSet);
// adjust the image coordinates and size
img.width = result.width;
img.height = result.height;
$(img).css("left", result.targetleft);
$(img).css("top", result.targettop);
}
.result {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
border: thick solid #666666;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
border-radius: 50%;
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
No offset:
<div class='result'>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/22W12EQ.jpg" style="position: absolute;" onload="OnImageLoad(event, 0, 0);"/>
</div>
Y offset:
<div class='result'>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/22W12EQ.jpg" style="position: absolute;" onload="OnImageLoad(event, 0, 30);"/>
</div>
I took most of the work from this resource: https://selbie.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/scale-crop-and-center-an-image-with-correct-aspect-ratio-in-html-and-javascript/ and I've adepted it to allow the use of Offsets so you can crop any image at the position you want.
How it works
You create a div of any size you want. It can be square, but if you want an egg-like result, that works as well (lol). Then insert the image of any unknown size inside it.
Change onload="OnImageLoad(event, 0, 30); with the offsets you want. Positive offsets for moving the image left or down, negative for up or right.
Note: I did use jQuery for this.
