Is there a library that has similar functionality? I rather take care of image manipulation locally, it seems such a waste of bandwidth and resources to send large images just to have them cropped.

Edited to say the service itself looks awesome, I just wished it was local.

If you want to do smart cropping locally, you might want to take a look at this: https://github.com/jwagner/smartcrop.js/

It's not as sophisticated as what we implemented for Cloudinary, but it's a good start.
