AWS Supercharges CloudFront Image Transformation with Smart Cropping and Device Detection

AWS just dropped four new features for Dynamic Image Transformation that'll make your image optimization way smarter. You can now use custom label detection for precise cropping, auto-optimize images for literally any device (phones to smart TVs), test transformations in an interactive playground, and get full feature parity across ECS and Lambda architectures—plus they've eliminated that annoying 30% unoptimized traffic gap.
